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

net:sfc: fix non-freed irq in legacy irq mode

SFC driver can be configured via modparam to work using MSI-X, MSI or legacy IRQ interrupts. In the last one, the interrupt was not properly released on module remove.

It was not freed because the flag irqs_hooked was not set during initialization in the case of using legacy IRQ.

Example of (trimmed) trace during module remove without this fix:
