Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-07-30 09:08:56 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gve: Account for stopped queues when reading NIC stats

We now account for the fact that the NIC might send us stats for a
subset of queues. Without this change, gve_get_ethtool_stats might make
an invalid access on the priv->stats_report->stats array.
