Description Rohit Keshri 2024-02-27 19:18:18 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ch_ktls: Fix kernel panic

Taking page refcount is not ideal and causes kernel panic
sometimes. It's better to take tx_ctx lock for the complete
skb transmit, to avoid page cleanup if ACK received in middle.
