Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the RockyLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: fix vf may be used uninitialized in this function warning    To fix the regression introduced by commit 52424f974bc5, which causes servers hang in very hard to reproduce conditions with resets races.
Using two sources for the information is the root cause.  In this function before the fix bumping v didn't mean bumping vf  pointer. But the code used this variables interchangeably, so stale vf  could point to different/not intended vf.    Remove redundant v variable and iterate via single VF pointer across  whole function instead to guarantee VF pointer validity.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
