NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debug-modules package and not the kernel-debug-modules package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Add a per-VF limit on number of FDIR filters
While the iavf driver adds a s/w limit (128) on the number of FDIR filters that the VF can request, a malicious VF driver can request more than that and exhaust the resources for other VFs.
Add a similar limit in ice.
