Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2021-47302
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel version 5.10.30-rt37-tsn1-rt-ipipe
**Description**
The vulnerability is a use-after-free error that occurs during the reset of the igc driver. This error can cause the driver to attempt to free a socket buffer (skb) that has already been freed, leading to invalid memory accesses. The issue arises when the `igc poll()` function runs while the controller is being reset, and the `next to watch` descriptor is not properly cleaned.
**Recommendations**
To resolve this issue, update the Linux kernel to a version that includes the fix for this vulnerability. Specifically, ensure that the `igc` driver is updated to properly clean the `next to watch` descriptor during the reset process.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
