NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debug-modules-partner package and not the kernel-debug-modules-partner package as distributed by Centos.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iavf: Fix handling of dummy receive descriptors

Fix memory leak caused by not handling dummy receive descriptor properly. iavf_get_rx_buffer now sets the rx_buffer return value for dummy receive descriptors. Without this patch, when the hardware writes a dummy descriptor, iavf would not free the page allocated for the previous receive buffer. This is an unlikely event but can still happen.
