Описание
A memory leak in the i40e_setup_macvlans() function in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering i40e_setup_channel() failures, aka CID-27d461333459.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The i40e_setup_macvlans function mishandles resource cleanup. A local attacker, able to induce the error conditions, could use this flaw to crash the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
Отчет
This issue is rated as having Moderate impact because of the preconditions needed to trigger the error code path.
Меры по смягчению последствий
In order to mitigate this issue it is possible to prevent the affected code from being loaded by blacklisting the kernel module i40e. For instructions relating to how to blacklist a kernel module refer to: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 .
