Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-04 18:30 – Updated: 2026-02-04 18:30

Details

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.
