FKIE_CVE-2026-23042
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-02-04 16:16 - Updated: 2026-06-17 10:20
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
idpf: fix aux device unplugging when rdma is not supported by vport
If vport flags do not contain VIRTCHNL2_VPORT_ENABLE_RDMA, driver does not
allocate vdev_info for this vport. This leads to kernel NULL pointer
dereference in idpf_idc_vport_dev_down(), which references vdev_info for
every vport regardless.
Check, if vdev_info was ever allocated before unplugging aux device.
