Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ionic: fix kernel panic in XDP_TX action In the XDP_TX path, ionic driver sends a packet to the TX path with rx
page and corresponding dma address.
After tx is done, ionic_tx_clean() frees that page.
But RX ring buffer isn't reset to NULL.
So, it uses a freed page, which causes kernel panic. BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff8881576c110c
