| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to the use of an uninitialized resource in the vdpa/mlx5 component of the Linux kernel. When the control vq receives a VIRTIO NET CTRL MQ VQ PAIRS SET command request from the driver, there is no validation against the number of queue pairs to configure, or even if multiqueue had been negotiated or not. This may lead to a kernel panic due to an uninitialized resource for the queues if any bogus request is sent down by an untrusted driver.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
