Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper resource shutdown in RSS queue pair destruction in mana_ib when destroying an RSS queue pair while traffic continues to arrive and the VF interface is subsequently brought up. A local user can destroy an RSS queue pair and trigger interface reinitialization while traffic is still being received to cause a denial of service.
The issue involves stale vPort RX steering configuration in firmware that can direct RX completions to reused TX completion queues.
