In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: Do not allow untrusted VF to remove administratively set MAC
Currently when PF administratively sets VF's MAC address and the VF is put down (VF tries to delete all MACs) then the MAC is removed from MAC filters and primary VF MAC is zeroed.
Do not allow untrusted VF to remove primary MAC when it was set administratively by PF.
Reproducer:
- Create VF
- Set VF interface up
- Administratively set the VF's MAC
- Put VF interface down
