    -------
    In the QFQ scheduler a similar issue to CVE-2023-31436
    persists.
    
    Consider the following code in net/sched/sch_qfq.c:
    
    static int qfq_enqueue(struct sk_buff *skb, struct Qdisc *sch,
                    struct sk_buff **to_free)
    {
         unsigned int len = qdisc_pkt_len(skb), gso_segs;
    
        // ...
    
         if (unlikely(cl->agg->lmax < len)) {
             pr_debug("qfq: increasing maxpkt from %u to %u for class %u",
                  cl->agg->lmax, len, cl->common.classid);
             err = qfq_change_agg(sch, cl, cl->agg->class_weight, len);
             if (err) {
                 cl->qstats.drops++;
                 return qdisc_drop(skb, sch, to_free);
             }
    
        // ...
    
         }
    
    Similarly to CVE-2023-31436, "lmax" is increased without any bounds
    checks according to the packet length "len". Usually this would not
    impose a problem because packet sizes are naturally limited.
    
    This is however not the actual packet length, rather the
    "qdisc_pkt_len(skb)" which might apply size transformations according to
    "struct qdisc_size_table" as created by "qdisc_get_stab()" in
    net/sched/sch_api.c if the TCA_STAB option was set when modifying the qdisc.
    
    A user may choose virtually any size using such a table.
    
    As a result the same issue as in CVE-2023-31436 can occur, allowing heap
    out-of-bounds read / writes in the kmalloc-8192 cache.
    -------
    
    We can create the issue with the following commands:
    
    tc qdisc add dev $DEV root handle 1: stab mtu 2048 tsize 512 mpu 0 \
    overhead 999999999 linklayer ethernet qfq
    tc class add dev $DEV parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 6mbit burst 15k
    tc filter add dev $DEV parent 1: matchall classid 1:1
    ping -I $DEV 1.1.1.2
    
    This is caused by incorrectly assuming that qdisc_pkt_len() returns a
    length within the QFQ_MIN_LMAX < len < QFQ_MAX_LMAX.
