CVE-2021-47301 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 perf.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf 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:
igb: Fix use-after-free error during reset
Cleans the next descriptor to watch (next_to_watch) when cleaning the TX ring.
Failure to do so can cause invalid memory accesses. If igb_poll() runs while the controller is reset this can lead to the driver try to free a skb that was already freed.
(The crash is harder to reproduce with the igb driver, but the same potential problem exists as the code is identical to igc)
