Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A flaw exists in the Linux kernel's iavf driver related to the handling of traffic IRQs. Specifically, if a system attempts to close a network device while the
iavf reset task() function is running, the LINK STATE START flag can be cleared, leading netif running() to return false within iavf reinit interrupt scheme(). This prevents the iavf free traffic irqs() function from being called, resulting in a memory leak. The fix involves utilizing internal adapter state to ensure proper IRQ management. The error message observed during this issue includes 'leaking at least 'iavf-enp24s0f0v0-TxRx-0''.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
