Vulnerability details

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in ixgbevf_clean_rx_irq() when processing received frames that trigger VEPA multicast source pruning. A local user can trigger this code path to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs in NAPI softirq context when a freed skb is reused on the next loop iteration because the pointer is not cleared before continuing.
