Summary

In the Linux kernel's Intel ice network driver, there is a bug in PTP handling during driver release. When a PF reset occurs in ICE_PTP_UNINIT state, ice_ptp_rebuild() changes the state to ICE_PTP_ERROR, leading to a BUG in list_debug.c during release. The fix detects ICE_PTP_UNINIT and does not transition to ICE_PTP_ERROR, preventing the crash.

Risk Assessment

This could cause a kernel panic during driver unload, leading to system instability and potential denial of service.

Recommendation

Install the Linux kernel update containing the fix and reboot the system.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ice: fix PTP Call Trace during PTP release If a PF reset occurs when the PTP state is ICE_PTP_UNINIT, then ice_ptp_rebuild() will update the state to ICE_PTP_ERROR. This will result in the following PTP release call trace during driver unload: kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:52! ice_ptp_release+0x332/0x3c0 [ice] ice_deinit_features.part.0+0x10e/0x120 [ice] ice_remove+0x100/0x220 [ice] This was observed when passing PF1 through to a VM. ice_ptp_init() fails because ctrl_pf is NULL and sets the state to ICE_PTP_UNINIT. Fix by detecting the ICE_PTP_UNINIT state in ice_ptp_rebuild() and returning without error, preventing the invalid state transition to ICE_PTP_ERROR. The only valid path to ICE_PTP_ERROR is from ICE_PTP_RESETTING after a failed rebuild.
