CVE-2025-38193

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

net_sched: sch_sfq: reject invalid perturb period

Gerrard Tai reported that SFQ perturb_period has no range check yet,
and this can be used to trigger a race condition fixed in a separate patch.

We want to make sure ctl->perturb_period * HZ will not overflow
and is positive.

tc qd add dev lo root sfq perturb 1000000000 # too big : error

CWE-190 Integer Overflow or Wraparound

The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
