Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: enetc: VFs do not support HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC
Actually ENETC VFs do not support HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC because only
ENETC PF can access PMa_SINGLE_STEP registers. And there will be a crash
if VFs are used to test one-step timestamp, the crash log as follows.
[ 129.110909] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000000080c0

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ENETC network driver. When a user requests one-step hardware timestamping on an Ethernet Virtual Function (VF), the driver attempts to access hardware registers restricted to the primary Physical Function (PF). A local user can exploit this vulnerability to trigger an invalid memory access, causing a kernel crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate for Red Hat Enterprise Linux because exploitation is confined to a local denial of service via a kernel panic, without allowing privilege escalation or data confidentiality loss. The flaw specifically affects environments configured with specialized NXP/Freescale ENETC ethernet virtual functions when one-step hardware timestamping is requested. Standard systems lacking this specific hardware architecture or not utilizing virtual network functions for hardware timestamping are not exposed, and the vulnerable code is not present in RHEL 8 and 9.
