9.8 · CRITICAL
Published Aug 28, 2026

Overview

CVE-2026-80630 is a critical-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 28, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 (CRITICAL).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, rated CRITICAL. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: sch_fq_codel: Do not call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog during peek before restoring qlen

Whenever fq_codel drops packets during peek, it calls

qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog. An issue arises because it calls

qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog before it reincrements the qlen. If qlen drops

to zero, but peek returns an skb, the parent's qlen_notify callback will be

executed even though fq_codel still has 1 packet on the queue and, thus,

will mistakenly deactivate the parent's class causing issues like a recent

report [1] and a wild memory access in qfq:
