Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: cortina: Ack RX overrun interrupt correctly
The RX overrun interrupt is reported in interrupt status register 4, but
gmac_irq() acknowledges it using the RX descriptor error bit from status
register 0. For GMAC0 this writes the GMAC1 overrun bit, while for GMAC1
the shift leaves no bit in the 32-bit register.
Acknowledge the same per-port RX overrun bit that was detected.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Cortina Ethernet driver. This flaw may result in a Denial of Service (DoS) when a network receive buffer overrun occurs. Due to an incorrect bit calculation, the interrupt service routine acknowledges the wrong register bit, leaving the overrun interrupt uncleared. An attacker capable of sending high volumes of network traffic could trigger this flaw, potentially causing an interrupt storm that leads to system degradation or unresponsiveness.
Отчет
Red Hat rates this vulnerability as Important because an unauthenticated remote attacker could induce an uncleared interrupt loop under high network load, resulting in a complete host denial of service. In typical Red Hat enterprise environments, the affected Cortina Gemini network driver is not required, as standard server installations run on general-purpose enterprise hardware architectures. Exploitation requires the system to be equipped with and actively running the specific Cortina network interface controller, limiting real-world exposure across standard Red Hat deployments.
