Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.8/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.

Original description The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix Tx scheduler error handling in XDP callback
When the XDP program is loaded, the XDP callback adds new Tx queues.
This means that the callback must update the Tx scheduler with the new
queue number. In the event of a Tx scheduler failure, the XDP callback
should also fail and roll back any changes previously made for XDP
preparation.
The previous implementation had a bug that not all changes made by the
XDP callback were rolled back. This caused the crash with the following
call trace:
