Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-20 12:30 – Updated: 2025-02-03 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix LAG and VF lock dependency in ice_reset_vf()
9f74a3dfcf83 ("ice: Fix VF Reset paths when interface in a failed over aggregate"), the ice driver has acquired the LAG mutex in ice_reset_vf(). The commit placed this lock acquisition just prior to the acquisition of the VF configuration lock.
If ice_reset_vf() acquires the configuration lock via the ICE_VF_RESET_LOCK flag, this could deadlock with ice_vc_cfg_qs_msg() because it always acquires the locks in the order of the VF configuration lock and then the LAG mutex.
Lockdep reports this violation almost immediately on creating and then removing 2 VF:
