Summary

In the igc driver (Linux kernel), during TX queue shutdown with XDP and timestamp requests, xsk_meta pointers were not cleared, causing a page fault in the interrupt handler when accessing them.

Risk Assessment

An XDP application with timestamp requests can cause a system crash (page fault) during shutdown if the link is still up.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that cleans up xsk metadata during TX queue shutdown.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: igc: fix page fault in XDP TX timestamps handling If an XDP application that requested TX timestamping is shutting down while the link of the interface in use is still up the following kernel splat is reported: [ 883.803618] [ T1554] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffcfb6200fd008 ... [ 883.803650] [ T1554] Call Trace: [ 883.803652] [ T1554] <TASK> [ 883.803654] [ T1554] igc_ptp_tx_tstamp_event+0xdf/0x160 [igc] [ 883.803660] [ T1554] igc_tsync_interrupt+0x2d5/0x300 [igc] ... During shutdown of the TX ring the xsk_meta pointers are left behind, so that the IRQ handler is trying to touch them. This issue is now being fixed by cleaning up the stale xsk meta data on TX shutdown. TX timestamps on other queues remain unaffected.
