Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 03:22:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2025022608-CVE-2022-49584-ceae@gregkh> (raw)
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ixgbe: Add locking to prevent panic when setting sriov_numvfs to zero
It is possible to disable VFs while the PF driver is processing requests
from the VF driver. This can result in a panic.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
