Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-46799
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A NULL pointer dereference issue has been resolved in the Linux kernel. The issue occurs when the number of TX queues is set to 1, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference during XDP TX. This can be triggered using the `ethtool` command to set the number of TX queues to 1 and then using the `xdp-trafficgen` tool to transmit traffic on the affected interface. The issue is fixed by using actual TX queues instead of max TX queues when picking the TX channel in the `am65 cpsw ndo xdp xmit()` function.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
