Description
A flaw was found in the net/shaper component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs because the net_shaper_nl_group_doit() function does not properly handle duplicate leaf entries in a GROUP request. A local attacker could exploit this by supplying the same leaf handle multiple times, leading to a double free of the parent pointer. This memory corruption can result in a denial of service or potentially lead to further compromise of the system.
