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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the ena_com_cdesc_rx_pkt_get() and ena_com_rx_pkt() functions in drivers/net/ethernet/amazon/ena/ena_eth_com.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
