Descriptions

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

net: netdevsim: don't try to destroy PHC on VFs

PHC gets initialized in nsim_init_netdevsim(), which
is only called if (nsim_dev_port_is_pf()).

Create a counterpart of nsim_init_netdevsim() and
move the mock_phc_destroy() there.

This fixes a crash trying to destroy netdevsim with
VFs instantiated, as caught by running the devlink.sh test:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000b8

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: netdevsim: no intente destruir PHC en VF PHC se inicializa en nsim_init_netdevsim(), que sólo se llama si (nsim_dev_port_is_pf()). Cree una contraparte de nsim_init_netdevsim() y mueva el mock_phc_destroy() allí. Esto soluciona un fallo al intentar destruir netdevsim con VF instanciados, detectado al ejecutar la prueba devlink.sh: ERROR: desreferencia del puntero NULL del núcleo, dirección: 00000000000000b8 RIP: 0010:mock_phc_destroy+0xd/0x30 Seguimiento de llamadas: nsim_destroy+0x4a /0x70 [netdevsim] __nsim_dev_port_del+0x47/0x70 [netdevsim] nsim_dev_reload_destroy+0x105/0x120 [netdevsim] nsim_drv_remove+0x2f/0xb0 [netdevsim] dispositivo_release_driver_internal+0x1a1/0x210 bus_remove_device+0xd5/0x120 dispositivo_del+0x159/0x490 dispositivo_unregister+0x12/0x30 del_device_store +0x11a/0x1a0 [netdevsim] kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x130/0x1d0 vfs_write+0x30b/0x4b0 ksys_write+0x69/0xf0 do_syscall_64+0xcc/0x1e0 Entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6f/0x77
