Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2022-50053

medium Nessus Plugin ID 248643

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- iavf: Fix reset error handling Do not call iavf_close in iavf_reset_task error handling. Doing so can lead to double call of napi_disable, which can lead to deadlock there. Removing VF would lead to iavf_remove task being stuck, because it requires crit_lock, which is held by iavf_close. Call iavf_disable_vf if reset fail, so that driver will clean up remaining invalid resources. During rapid VF resets, HW can fail to setup VF mailbox. Wrong error handling can lead to iavf_remove being stuck with: [ 5218.999087] iavf 0000:82:01.0: Failed to init adminq: -53 ...
