Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-04-01 16:03:21 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: enetc: VFs do not support HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC

Actually ENETC VFs do not support HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC because only
ENETC PF can access PMa_SINGLE_STEP registers. And there will be a crash
if VFs are used to test one-step timestamp, the crash log as follows.
