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

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect calculation within the gve_get_drvinfo() and gve_get_ethtool_stats() functions in drivers/net/ethernet/google/gve/gve_ethtool.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
