Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A null pointer dereference issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the
idpf features check function. This function is used to validate TX packets, and the issue arises when the vport pointer is accessed after all vports have been released during a reset, resulting in a NULL pointer. To resolve this, the maximum header length value is stored in the netdev private structure, which also helps to cache the value and avoid accessing the adapter pointer in the hot path.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
