Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> idpf: fix memory leak of flow steer list on rmmod<br /> <br /> The flow steering list maintains entries that are added and removed as<br /> ethtool creates and deletes flow steering rules. Module removal with active<br /> entries causes memory leak as the list is not properly cleaned up.<br /> <br /> Prevent this by iterating through the remaining entries in the list and<br /> freeing the associated memory during module removal. Add a spinlock<br /> (flow_steer_list_lock) to protect the list access from multiple threads.
