- Summary
- ice: ice_adapter: release xa entry on adapter allocation failure
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: ice_adapter: release xa entry on adapter allocation failure
When iceadapternew() fails, the reserved XArray entry created by xa_insert() is not released. This causes subsequent insertions at the same index to return -EBUSY, potentially leading to NULL pointer dereferences.
Reorder the operations as suggested by Przemek Kitszel: 1. Check if adapter already exists (xaload) 2. Reserve the XArray slot (xareserve) 3. Allocate the adapter (iceadapternew) 4. Store the adapter (xa_store)
