    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ixgbe: Add locking to prevent panic when setting sriov_numvfs to zero

    It is possible to disable VFs while the PF driver is processing requests
    from the VF driver.  This can result in a panic.

    This can be eventually be reproduced with the following script:

    while :
    do
        echo 63 > /sys/class/net/<devname>/device/sriov_numvfs
        sleep 1
        echo 0 > /sys/class/net/<devname>/device/sriov_numvfs
        sleep 1
    done

    Add lock when disabling SR-IOV to prevent process VF mailbox communication.
