Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-10 15:33 – Updated: 2026-08-10 15:33In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
idpf: fix max_vport related crash on allocation error during init
Set adapter->max_vports only after successful allocation of vports, netdevs and vport_config buffers. This fixes possible crashes on reset or rmmod, following failed allocation on init
