In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ixgbe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ixgbexdpsetup

The ixgbe driver currently generates a NULL pointer dereference with some machine (online cpus < 63). This is due to the fact that the maximum value of numxdpqueues is nrcpuids. Code is in "ixgbesetrss_queues"".

Here's how the problem repeats itself: Some machine (online cpus < 63), And user set numqueues to 63 through ethtool. Code is in the "ixgbesetchannels", adapter->ringfeature[RINGFFDIR].limit = count;

It becomes 63.

When user use xdp, "ixgbesetrssqueues" will set queues num. adapter->numrxqueues = rssi; adapter->numtxqueues = rssi; adapter->numxdpqueues = ixgbexdp_queues(adapter);

And rssi's value is from f = &adapter->ringfeature[RINGFFDIR]; rss_i = f->indices = f->limit;

So "numrxqueues" > "numxdpqueues", when run to "ixgbexdpsetup", for (i = 0; i < adapter->numrxqueues; i++) if (adapter->xdpring[i]->xskumem)

It leads to panic.

So I fix ixgbemaxchannels so that it will not allow a setting of queues to be higher than the numonlinecpus(). And when run to ixgbexdpsetup, take the smaller value of numrxqueues and numxdpqueues.
