Descriptions

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

net-sysfs: add check for netdevice being present to speed_show

When bringing down the netdevice or system shutdown, a panic can be
triggered while accessing the sysfs path because the device is already
removed.

To prevent this scenario, we also make sure that the netdevice is present.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net-sysfs: agregue verificación para que netdevice esté presente en speed_show Al desactivar el netdevice o apagar el sistema, se puede desencadenar un pánico al acceder a la ruta sysfs porque el dispositivo ya está eliminado.
