Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-24 12:07:17 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ice: set tx_tstamps when creating new Tx rings via ethtool

When the user changes the number of queues via ethtool, the driver
allocates new rings. This allocation did not initialize tx_tstamps. This
results in the tx_tstamps field being zero (due to kcalloc allocation), and
would result in a NULL pointer dereference when attempting a transmit
timestamp on the new ring.
