Descriptions

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

net: stmmac: Disable Tx queues when reconfiguring the interface

The Tx queues were not disabled in situations where the driver needed to
stop the interface to apply a new configuration. This could result in a
kernel panic when doing any of the 3 following actions:
* reconfiguring the number of queues (ethtool -L)
* reconfiguring the size of the ring buffers (ethtool -G)
* installing/removing an XDP program (ip l set dev ethX xdp)

Prevent the panic by making sure netif_tx_disable is called when stopping
an interface.

Without this patch, the following kernel panic can be observed when doing
any of the actions above:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff80001238d040

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: stmmac: Deshabilitar las colas de Tx al reconfigurar la interfaz Las colas de Tx no se deshabilitaron en situaciones en las que el controlador necesitaba detener la interfaz para aplicar una nueva configuración. Esto podría provocar un pánico en el kernel al realizar cualquiera de las 3 acciones siguientes: * reconfigurar el número de colas (ethtool -L) * reconfigurar el tamaño de los búferes circulares (ethtool -G) * instalar/eliminar un programa XDP (ip l set dev ethX xdp) Evite el pánico asegurándose de que se llame a netif_tx_disable al detener una interfaz. Sin este parche, se puede observar el siguiente pánico del kernel al realizar cualquiera de las acciones anteriores: No se puede manejar la solicitud de paginación del kernel en la dirección virtual ffff80001238d040 [....] Seguimiento de llamadas: dwmac4_set_addr+0x8/0x10 dev_hard_start_xmit+0xe4/0x1ac sch_direct_xmit+ 0xe8/0x39c __dev_queue_xmit+0x3ec/0xaf0 dev_queue_xmit+0x14/0x20 [...] [fin de seguimiento 0000000000000002]---
