Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: sch_taprio: properly cancel timer from taprio_destroy()

There is a comment in qdisc_create() about us not calling ops->reset() in some cases.

err_out4: /* * Any broken qdiscs that would require a ops->reset() here? * The qdisc was never in action so it shouldn't be necessary. */

As taprio sets a timer before actually receiving a packet, we need to cancel it from ops->destroy, just in case ops->reset has not been called.
