Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-16 14:03:16 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

idpf: fix possible vport_config NULL pointer deref in remove

Attempting to remove the driver will cause a crash in cases where
the vport failed to initialize. Following trace is from an instance where
the driver failed during an attempt to create a VF:
[ 1661.543624] idpf 0000:84:00.7: Device HW Reset initiated
[ 1722.923726] idpf 0000:84:00.7: Transaction timed-out (op:1 cookie:2900 vc_op:1 salt:29 timeout:60000ms)

Avoid the NULL pointer dereference by adding NULL pointer check for
vport_config[i], before freeing user_config.q_coalesce.
