| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A flaw exists in the Linux kernel’s netpoll functionality where a kernel warning can occur when netconsole setup fails on devices with the IFF DISABLE NETPOLL flag set. This warning arises because the cleanup process attempts to cancel an uninitialized work queue. Specifically, the issue occurs within the
netpoll setup() function when encountering a device with IFF DISABLE NETPOLL, leading to a call to cancel work sync() on an uninitialized work queue (refill wq). The resolution involves initializing the work queue at the beginning of the netpoll setup() function to ensure it is properly initialized before any potential failure points.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
