Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's 8021q VLAN module. This vulnerability occurs because cleared egress Quality of Service (QoS) mappings are not properly deleted, leading to an accumulation of mapping nodes. An attacker could repeatedly set and clear egress priority mappings, causing a memory leak. This memory leak could eventually lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition, making the system unresponsive or unstable.
