linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Fix memory corruption in VF driver
Disable VF's RX/TX queues, when it's disabled. VF can have queues enabled,
when it requests a reset. If PF driver assumes that VF is disabled,
while VF still has queues configured, VF may unmap DMA resources.
In such scenario device still can map packets to memory, which ends up
silently corrupting it.
Previously, VF driver could experience memory corruption, which lead to
crash:
