Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Hierarchical Fair Service Curve (HFSC) network scheduler. When processing specific large input values, a calculation error can cause a variable to be truncated to zero. This zero value is then used as a divisor, leading to a divide-by-zero error and a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
