Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> i40e: Fix kernel crash during reboot when adapter is in recovery mode<br /> <br /> If the driver detects during probe that firmware is in recovery<br /> mode then i40e_init_recovery_mode() is called and the rest of<br /> probe function is skipped including pci_set_drvdata(). Subsequent<br /> i40e_shutdown() called during shutdown/reboot dereferences NULL<br /> pointer as pci_get_drvdata() returns NULL.<br /> <br /> To fix call pci_set_drvdata() also during entering to recovery mode.<br /> <br /> Reproducer:<br /> 1) Lets have i40e NIC with firmware in recovery mode<br /> 2) Run reboot<br /> <br /> Result:<br /> [ 139.084698] i40e: Intel(R) Ethernet Connection XL710 Network Driver<br /> [ 139.090959] i40e: Copyright (c) 2013 - 2019 Intel Corporation.<br /> [ 139.108438] i40e 0000:02:00.0: Firmware recovery mode detected.
