Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: cls_fw: fix NULL pointer
dereference on shared blocks The old-method path in fw_classify() calls tcf_block_q() and dereferences
q->handle. Shared blocks leave block->q NULL, causing a NULL deref when an empty cls_fw filter is attached
to a shared block and a packet with a nonzero major skb mark is classified. Reject the configuration in
fw_change() when the old method (no TCA_OPTIONS) is used on a shared block, since fw_classify()'s old-
method path needs block->q which is NULL for shared blocks. The fixed null-ptr-deref calling stack: KASAN:
null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000038-0x000000000000003f] RIP: 0010:fw_classify
(net/sched/cls_fw.c:81) Call Trace: tcf_classify (./include/net/tc_wrapper.h:197 net/sched/cls_api.c:1764
net/sched/cls_api.c:1860) tc_run (net/core/dev.c:4401) __dev_queue_xmit (net/core/dev.c:4535
net/core/dev.c:4790) (CVE-2026-31421)
