GHSA-28H9-44VG-F29V
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-07-12 15:31 – Updated: 2026-05-12 12:32In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ionic: fix use after netif_napi_del()
When queues are started, netif_napi_add() and napi_enable() are called. If there are 4 queues and only 3 queues are used for the current configuration, only 3 queues' napi should be registered and enabled. The ionic_qcq_enable() checks whether the .poll pointer is not NULL for enabling only the using queue' napi. Unused queues' napi will not be registered by netif_napi_add(), so the .poll pointer indicates NULL. But it couldn't distinguish whether the napi was unregistered or not because netif_napi_del() doesn't reset the .poll pointer to NULL. So, ionic_qcq_enable() calls napi_enable() for the queue, which was unregistered by netif_napi_del().
Reproducer: ethtool -L rx 1 tx 1 combined 0 ethtool -L rx 0 tx 0 combined 1 ethtool -L rx 0 tx 0 combined 4
