1) Improper resource shutdown or release (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-72425)

CWE-ID: CWE-404 - Improper Resource Shutdown or Release

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper resource shutdown or release in ice_reset_all_vfs() when resetting virtual functions with FDIR filters enabled. A local user can trigger a VF reset after enabling an FDIR filter to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because CTRL VSI objects are invalidated but not freed for affected virtual functions.
