In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: ets: fix divide by zero in the offload path
Offloading ETS requires computing each class' WRR weight: this is done by
averaging over the sums of quanta as 'q_sum' and 'q_psum'. Using unsigned
int, the same integer size as the individual DRR quanta, can overflow and
even cause division by zero, like it happened in the following splat:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Kernel Offset: 0x30000000 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffffbfffffff)
---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]---
Fix this using 64-bit integers for 'q_sum' and 'q_psum'.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `net/sched: ets` module. A local user can exploit an integer overflow vulnerability when the system calculates weighted round-robin (WRR) weights for network traffic. This overflow can lead to a divide-by-zero error, causing the kernel to panic and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.
