Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: octeon_ep_vf: fix free_irq dev_id mismatch in IRQ rollback<br />
<br />
octep_vf_request_irqs() requests MSI-X queue IRQs with dev_id set to<br />
ioq_vector. If request_irq() fails part-way, the rollback loop calls<br />
free_irq() with dev_id set to &#39;oct&#39;, which does not match the original<br />
dev_id and may leave the irqaction registered.<br />
<br />
This can keep IRQ handlers alive while ioq_vector is later freed during<br />
unwind/teardown, leading to a use-after-free or crash when an interrupt<br />
fires.<br />
<br />
Fix the error path to free IRQs with the same ioq_vector dev_id used<br />
during request_irq().
