| 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 versions prior to 6.11.3
Description:
The issue concerns improper reference count handling in the
ice sriov set msix vec count() function. This can lead to reference count leaks under certain conditions, such as when ice get vf vsi() fails or when ice sriov get irqs() returns an error. The problem was identified using an experimental static analysis tool that specializes in analyzing reference count operations.Recommendations:
For Linux kernel versions prior to 6.11.3, upgrade to version 6.11.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
ice sriov set msix vec count() function until the patch is applied.Exploit
