Technical description

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

net: txgbe: initialize num_q_vectors for MSI/INTx interrupts

When using MSI/INTx interrupts, wx->num_q_vectors is uninitialized.

Thus there will be kernel panic in wx_alloc_q_vectors() to allocate

queue vectors.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
