A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking scheduler (net/sched) component, specifically within the flow classifier (cls_flow). A local user could exploit this vulnerability by creating a flow filter without a fully qualified baseclass on a shared block. This action causes a null pointer dereference, which can lead to a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
