  3. CVE-2023-53114
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i40e: Fix kernel crash during reboot when adapter is in recovery mode If the driver detects during probe that firmware is in recovery mode then i40e_init_recovery_mode() is called and the rest of probe function is skipped including pci_set_drvdata(). Subsequent i40e_shutdown() called during shutdown/reboot dereferences NULL pointer as pci_get_drvdata() returns NULL. To fix call pci_set_drvdata() also during entering to recovery mode. Reproducer: 1) Lets have i40e NIC with firmware in recovery mode 2) Run reboot Result: [ 139.084698] i40e: Intel(R) Ethernet Connection XL710 Network Driver [ 139.090959] i40e: Copyright (c) 2013 - 2019 Intel Corporation.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: i40e: Se soluciona el fallo del kernel durante el reinicio cuando el adaptador está en modo de recuperación Si el controlador detecta durante el sondeo que el firmware está en modo de recuperación, se llama a i40e_init_recovery_mode() y se omite el resto de la función del sondeo, incluido pci_set_drvdata(). La llamada posterior a i40e_shutdown() durante el apagado/reinicio desreferencia el puntero NULL, ya que pci_get_drvdata() devuelve NULL. Para solucionarlo, llame también a pci_set_drvdata() durante el ingreso al modo de recuperación. Reproductor: 1) Tengamos la NIC i40e con el firmware en modo de recuperación 2) Ejecute el reinicio Resultado: [ 139.084698] i40e: Controlador de red Intel(R) Ethernet Connection XL710 [ 139.090959] i40e: Copyright (c) 2013 - 2019 Intel Corporation.
