Описание
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).
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as having a Moderate impact because exploitation requires specific timing during interface reconfiguration on systems equipped with Intel 800 Series network hardware, limiting exposure to hosts utilizing the ice driver. Triggering the underlying reset sequence typically requires local administrative privileges or physical device events, preventing remote or unauthenticated threat actors from triggering the flaw. While a successful exploit leads to a kernel crash and resulting denial of service, it does not allow confidentiality compromise or unauthorized data modification.
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.
