Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> ice: set tx_tstamps when creating new Tx rings via ethtool<br /> <br /> When the user changes the number of queues via ethtool, the driver<br /> allocates new rings. This allocation did not initialize tx_tstamps. This<br /> results in the tx_tstamps field being zero (due to kcalloc allocation), and<br /> would result in a NULL pointer dereference when attempting a transmit<br /> timestamp on the new ring.
