In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net:
stmmac: Disable Tx queues when reconfiguring the interface The Tx queues
were not disabled in situations where the driver needed to stop the
interface to apply a new configuration. This could result in a kernel panic
when doing any of the 3 following actions: * reconfiguring the number of
queues (ethtool -L) * reconfiguring the size of the ring buffers (ethtool
-G) * installing/removing an XDP program (ip l set dev ethX xdp) Prevent
the panic by making sure netif_tx_disable is called when stopping an
interface. Without this patch, the following kernel panic can be observed
when doing any of the actions above: Unable to handle kernel paging request
at virtual address ffff80001238d040 […] Call trace:
