Description

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

net/sched: taprio: proper TCA_TAPRIO_TC_ENTRY_INDEX check

taprio_parse_tc_entry() is not correctly checking
TCA_TAPRIO_TC_ENTRY_INDEX attribute:

int tc; // Signed value

tc = nla_get_u32(tb[TCA_TAPRIO_TC_ENTRY_INDEX]);
if (tc >= TC_QOPT_MAX_QUEUE) {
NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD(extack, "TC entry index out of range");
return -ERANGE;
}

syzbot reported that it could fed arbitary negative values:

UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/sched/sch_taprio.c:1722:18
