NewCVE-2024-44995 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade SLES:15.6 kernel-azure to version 6.4.0-150600.8.20.1 or higher.
NVD Description

See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hns3: fix a deadlock problem when config TC during resetting
When config TC during the reset process, may cause a deadlock, the flow is as below: pf reset start │ ▼ ...... setup tc │ │ ▼ ▼ DOWN: napi_disable() napi_disable()(skip) │ │ │ ▼ ▼ ...... ...... │ │ ▼ │ napi_enable() │ ▼ UINIT: netif_napi_del() │ ▼ ...... │ ▼ INIT: netif_napi_add() │ ▼ ...... global reset start │ │ ▼ ▼ UP: napi_enable()(skip) ...... │ │ ▼ ▼ ...... napi_disable()
In reset process, the driver will DOWN the port and then UINIT, in this case, the setup tc process will UP the port before UINIT, so cause the problem. Adds a DOWN process in UINIT to fix it.
