In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeon_ep: Fix host hang issue during device reboot
When the host loses heartbeat messages from the device, the driver calls the device-specific ndostop function, which frees the resources. If the driver is unloaded in this scenario, it calls ndostop again, attempting to free resources that have already been freed, leading to a host hang issue. To resolve this, devclose should be called instead of the device-specific stop function.devclose internally calls ndostop to stop the network interface and performs additional cleanup tasks. During the driver unload process, if the device is already down, ndostop is not called.
