Dell Secure Connect Gateway

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to use of uninitialized resource within the mvpp2_bm_pool_cleanup() and mvpp2_bm_init() functions in drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvpp2/mvpp2_main.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
