Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: sch_teql: restore skb->dev on the slave failure path teql_master_xmit() sets skb->dev = slave before calling the slave's ndo_start_xmit(), but never restores it when that transmit fails. The skb then walks on to the next slave still pointing at the previous one. If a later slave has no resolved neighbour, teql_resolve() hands the skb to neigh_event_send(), which queues it on that neighbour's arp_queue with the stal
