The Centos security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Centos:9.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bpftool package and not the bpftool package as distributed by Centos.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: ice_adapter: release xa entry on adapter allocation failure
When ice_adapter_new() 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:
- Check if adapter already exists (xa_load)
- Reserve the XArray slot (xa_reserve)
- Allocate the adapter (ice_adapter_new)
- Store the adapter (xa_store)
