In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ice: Fix PTP NULL pointer dereference during VSI rebuild Fix race condition where PTP periodic work runs while VSI is being rebuilt, accessing NULL vsi->rx_rings. The sequence was:
- ice_ptp_prepare_for_reset() cancels PTP work
- ice_ptp_rebuild() immediately queues PTP work
- VSI rebuild happens AFTER ice_ptp_rebuild()
- PTP work runs and accesses NULL vsi->rx_rings
Fix: Keep PTP work cancelled during rebuild, only queue it after
VSI rebuild completes in ice_rebuild().
Added ice_ptp_queue_work() helper function to encapsulate the logic
for queuing PTP work, ensuring it's only queued when PTP is supported
and the state is ICE_PTP_READY.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ice network driver. A local attacker could exploit a race condition during the Virtual Station Interface (VSI) rebuild process. This flaw occurs when the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) periodic work attempts to access uninitialized memory, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. Successful exploitation results in a system crash, causing a Denial of Service (DoS).
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this vulnerability, prevent the ice kernel module from loading. This can be achieved by creating a blacklist file for the module.
- Create a file named
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ice.confwith the following content:blacklist ice - Regenerate the initramfs to ensure the blacklist is applied during boot:
dracut -f -v - Reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
Warning: Blacklisting the
icemodule may impact network functionality if your system relies on network devices using this driver. Ensure this action is compatible with your system's requirements before proceeding.
