Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: free q_vectors before queues in iavf_disable_vf
iavf_free_queues() clears adapter->num_active_queues, which
iavf_free_q_vectors() relies on, so swap the order of these two function
calls in iavf_disable_vf(). This resolves a panic encountered when the
interface is disabled and then later brought up again after PF
communication is restored.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Intel Adaptive Virtual Function (iavf) driver. A local user with administrative privileges can trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) resulting from a kernel crash when disabling and subsequently restoring a virtual network interface. This issue is caused by the driver releasing queue resources in an incorrect order during interface deactivation, which leaves the driver in an inconsistent state when re-enabling the interface.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Low severity because triggering the issue requires local administrative privileges, specifically CAP_NET_ADMIN capabilities, and is confined to systems equipped with Intel SR-IOV virtual network hardware. An attacker with privileged access could cause a kernel panic and host denial of service during interface state changes, but this does not lead to confidentiality or integrity breaches. Because privileged users already possess significant system control, the security risk to standard Red Hat deployments remains low.
