CVE-2024-50094 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sfc: Don\'t invoke xdp_do_flush() from netpoll.
Yury reported a crash in the sfc driver originated from
netpoll_send_udp(). The netconsole sends a message and then netpoll
invokes the driver\'s NAPI function with a budget of zero. It is
dedicated to allow driver to free TX resources, that it may have used
while sending the packet.
In the netpoll case the driver invokes xdp_do_flush() unconditionally,
leading to crash because bpf_net_context was never assigned.
Invoke xdp_do_flush() only if budget is not zero.
