Resource Injection Affecting kernel-zfcpdump-devel package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-zfcpdump-devel package and not the kernel-zfcpdump-devel 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:

vmxnet3: disable rx data ring on dma allocation failure

When vmxnet3_rq_create() fails to allocate memory for rq->data_ring.base, the subsequent call to vmxnet3_rq_destroy_all_rxdataring does not reset rq->data_ring.desc_size for the data ring that failed, which presumably causes the hypervisor to reference it on packet reception.

To fix this bug, rq->data_ring.desc_size needs to be set to 0 to tell the hypervisor to disable this feature.
