In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sfc:
adjust efx->xdp_tx_queue_count with the real number of initialized queues
efx->xdp_tx_queue_count is initially initialized to num_possible_cpus() and
is later used to allocate and traverse efx->xdp_tx_queues lookup array.
However, we may end up not initializing all the array slots with real
queues during probing. This results, for example, in a NULL pointer
dereference, when running “# ethtool -S <iface>”, similar to below
