  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  net_sched: fix NULL deref in fifo_set_limit()  syzbot reported another NULL deref in fifo_set_limit() [1]  I could repro the issue with :  unshare -n tc qd add dev lo root handle 1:0 tbf limit 200000 burst 70000 rate 100Mbit tc qd replace dev lo parent 1:0 pfifo_fast tc qd change dev lo root handle 1:0 tbf limit 300000 burst 70000 rate 100Mbit  pfifo_fast does not have a change() operation. Make fifo_set_limit() more robust about this.
