      <title>CVE-2023-53060 — igb: revert rtnl_lock() that causes deadlock</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-53060</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;igb: revert rtnl_lock() that causes deadlock&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The commit 6faee3d4ee8b (&amp;#34;igb: Add lock to avoid data race&amp;#34;) adds
rtnl_lock to eliminate a false data race shown below&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(FREE from device detaching)      |   (USE from netdev core)
igb_remove                         |  igb_ndo_get_vf_config
 igb_disable_sriov                 |  vf &amp;gt;= adapter-&amp;gt;vfs_allocated_count?
  kfree(adapter-&amp;gt;vf_data)          |
  adapter-&amp;gt;vfs_allocated_count = 0 |
                                   |    memcpy(... adapter-&amp;gt;vf_data[vf]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The above race will never happen and the extra rtnl_lock causes deadlock
below&lt;/p&gt;
