Vulnerability CVE-2021-47302

Vulnerability CVE-2021-47302

Published: 2024-05-21

Description:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

igc: 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 igc_poll() runs
while the controller is being reset this can lead to the driver try to
free a skb that was already freed.

Log message:

[ 101.525242] refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
