Summary

In the Linux kernel, the hv_netvsc driver lacks a check for the RX indirection table when programming the RSS hash key. When the device reports a single receive queue, the table is not allocated, and attempting to update the RSS key causes a system hang.

Risk Assessment

The organization faces a risk of system hang during RSS configuration in Hyper-V environments with a single receive queue, potentially disrupting network services.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch immediately that gates netvsc_set_rxfh() on rx_table_sz, preventing RSS hash key programming without the indirection table.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hv_netvsc: reject RSS hash key programming without RX indirection table RSS configuration requires a valid RX indirection table. When the device reports a single receive queue, rndis_filter_device_add() does not allocate an indirection table, accepting RSS hash key updates in this state leads to a hang. Fix this by gating netvsc_set_rxfh() on ndc->rx_table_sz and return -EOPNOTSUPP when the table is absent. This aligns set_rxfh with the device capabilities and prevents incorrect behavior.
