Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: igb: Fix use-after-free error during reset Cleans the next descriptor to watch (next_to_watch) when cleaning the TX ring. Failure to do so can cause invalid memory accesses. If igb_poll() runs while the controller is reset this can lead to the driver try to free a skb that was already freed. (The crash is harder to reproduce with the igb driver, but the same potential problem exists as the code is identical to igc)

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.12 < 4.14.241) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.15 < 4.19.199) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.136) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.54) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.13.6) • linux linux kernel 5.14
