Attack requires local access to the system or container hosting the ionic netdev.\nAC:L - The upstream reproducer is a deterministic three-command sequence (`ethtool -L ... rx 1 tx 1 combined 0`, then `combined 1`, then `combined 4`) with no race and no dependence on memory layout or system state the attacker cannot influence. The link-status event that drives the crashing deferred work is generated by the reconfiguration itself via `ionic_link_status_check_request()`.\nPR:L - Both entry points gate on namespace-relative CAP_NET_ADMIN (`ns_capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN)` in net/ethtool/ioctl.c:2912 and `GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM` in net/ethtool/netlink.c:921), which an unprivileged user holds inside their own user namespace. ionic exposes SR-IOV VFs that are routinely delegated into container network namespaces by SR-IOV CNI, so a basic container user reaches `ionic_set_channels` without any host-root privilege.\nUI:N - The entire sequence is attacker-driven from a single process; no administrator or victim action is needed. The queue restart that reaches `ionic_qcq_enable()` is triggered automatically by the attacker's own reconfiguration.\nS:U - The corruption and the crash are confined to the kernel's own security authority — there is no hypervisor, IOMMU, or DMA boundary being crossed. This is standard in-kernel memory corruption, so the vulnerable component and impacted component share one authority.\nC:H - Re-enabling a NAPI that `netif_napi_del()` already unlinked leaves it schedulable from the still-registered IRQ while the containing `struct ionic_qcq` is `devm_kfree()`d, so `net_rx_action()` polls freed slab memory — a use-after-free that yields an arbitrary kernel-memory read primitive once the object is resprayed.\nI:H - The same use-after-free makes `n->poll` an indirect call through freed, attacker-sprayable slab memory, giving a control-flow-hijack and arbitrary-write primitive. Per UAF scoring guidance this is High integrity impact, not a mere crash.\nA:H - `napi_enable()` hits `BUG_ON(!test_bit(NAPI_STATE_SCHED, &val))` (net/core/dev.c:6665) and kills the kworker while it holds `lif->queue_lock`, which is then leaked permanently — every subsequent `ionic_open`/`ionic_stop`/ethtool path blocks on it while holding `rtnl_lock`, deadlocking the whole networking control plane until reboot (immediate panic with `panic_on_oops=1`)." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
