In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: fix netdevice reference leaks in attach_default_qdiscs() In attach_default_qdiscs(), if a dev has multiple queues and queue 0 fails to attach qdisc because there is no memory in attach_one_default_qdisc(). Then dev->qdisc will be noop_qdisc by default. But the other queues may be able to successfully attach to default qdisc. In this case, the fallback to noqueue process will be triggered. If the original attached qdisc is not released and a new one is directly attached, this will cause netdevice reference leaks. The following is the bug log: veth0: default qdisc (fq_codel) fail, fallback to noqueue unregister_netdevice: waiting for veth0 to become free. Usage count = 32 leaked reference. qdisc_alloc+0x12e/
