CVE-2024-35971

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ks8851 network driver, that causes a system hang due to a deadlock in the IRQ handling process. The issue occurs when the ks8851irq function, which handles network packets, triggers a softirq netrxaction while holding a spinlock ks8851lockpar. This...

CVE-2024-35971

The CVE-2024-35971 entry concerns the Linux kernel ks8851 driver hang due to incorrect softirq handling. In ks8851_irq(), a spinlock is acquired before calling netif_rx(), which can trigger net_rx_action and reach the driver’s .start_xmit callback. If ks8851_start_xmit_par subsequently re-enters ...
