Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-46765)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-46765). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: protect XDP configuration with a mutex
The main threat to data consistency in ice_xdp() is a possible asynchronous
PF reset. It can be triggered by a user or by TX timeout handler.
XDP setup and PF reset code access the same resources in the following
sections:
- ice_vsi_close() in ice_prepare_for_reset() - already rtnl-locked
- ice_vsi_rebuild() for the PF VSI - not protected
- ice_vsi_open() - already rtnl-locked
With an unfortunate timing, such accesses can result in a crash such as the
one below:
