The problem is in this flow: 1) Port is enabled, queue_id != 0, in qom_list 2) Port gets disabled -> team_port_disable() -> team_queue_override_port_del() -> del (removed from list) 3) Port is disabled, queue_id != 0, not in any list 4) Priority changes -> team_queue_override_port_prio_changed() -> checks: port disabled && queue_id != 0 -> calls del - hits the BUG as it is removed already
To fix this, change the check in team_queue_override_port_prio_changed() so it returns early if port is not enabled.

Remediation
Red Hat statement
This vulnerability can be triggered through netlink operations on team network interfaces. An unprivileged user with network namespace capabilities could potentially trigger this crash by manipulating team port priorities after disabling ports. The impact is limited to denial of service through a kernel BUG crash.
Red Hat mitigation
To mitigate this issue, prevent the team module from being loaded if network teaming is not required. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions on how to blacklist a kernel module.
