Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for this vulnerability (the commit that resolves the issue).
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: bcmgenet: fix racing timeout handler The bcmgenet_timeout handler tries to take down all tx queues when a single queue times out.
