Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The Linux kernel net/sched traffic classifiers do not charge filter allocations to memory cgroups. An unprivileged local user in a user and network namespace, or root with CAP_NET_ADMIN, can create many filters to pin kernel memory outside memcg limits. Upgrade to 6.1.191, 6.6.160, 6.12.114, 6.18.57 or a later release in those series.
