Doc Text:
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ionic driver, in the XDP_TX action, where the driver sends a packet using a received page that is subsequently freed, if the RX ring buffer is not reset to NULL after this operation, it results in a use of a freed page, leading to a kernel panic.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-07-12 13:26:41 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ionic: fix kernel panic in XDP_TX action

In the XDP_TX path, ionic driver sends a packet to the TX path with rx
page and corresponding dma address.
After tx is done, ionic_tx_clean() frees that page.
But RX ring buffer isn't reset to NULL.
So, it uses a freed page, which causes kernel panic.
