Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

virtio_net: fix device mismatch in devm_kzalloc/devm_kfree

Initial rss_hdr allocation uses virtio_device->device, but virtnet_set_queues() frees using net_device->device. This device mismatch causing below devres warning
