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

    ice: fix concurrent reset and removal of VFs

    Commit c503e63200c6 (ice: Stop processing VF messages during teardown)
    introduced a driver state flag, ICE_VF_DEINIT_IN_PROGRESS, which is
    intended to prevent some issues with concurrently handling messages from
    VFs while tearing down the VFs.

    This change was motivated by crashes caused while tearing down and
    bringing up VFs in rapid succession.

    It turns out that the fix actually introduces issues with the VF driver
    caused because the PF no longer responds to any messages sent by the VF
    during its .remove routine. This results in the VF potentially removing
    its DMA memory before the PF has shut down the device queues.

    Additionally, the fix doesn't actually resolve concurrency issues within
    the ice driver. It is possible for a VF to initiate a reset just prior
    to the ice driver removing VFs. This can result in the remove task
    concurrently operating while the VF is being reset. This results in
    similar memory corruption and panics purportedly fixed by that commit.

    Fix this concurrency at its root by protecting both the reset and
    removal flows using the existing VF cfg_lock. This ensures that we
    cannot remove the VF while any outstanding critical tasks such as a
    virtchnl message or a reset are occurring.

    This locking change also fixes the root cause originally fixed by commit
    c503e63200c6 (ice: Stop processing VF messages during teardown), so we
    can simply revert it.

    Note that I kept these two changes together because simply reverting the
    original commit alone would leave the driver vulnerable to worse race
    conditions.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
