Summary

In the fbnic network driver in the Linux kernel, there is a double-free vulnerability when DMA-mapping of a firmware message fails. The fbnic_mbx_map_msg() function does not take ownership of the message on error.

Risk Assessment

A double-free could lead to memory corruption, system crash, or potentially arbitrary code execution by an attacker.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that fixes error handling in fbnic_mbx_map_msg() to avoid double-free.
