CVE-2023-6270

A flaw was found in the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux kernel. The aoecmd_cfg_pkts() function improperly updates the refcnt on `struct net_device`, and a use-after-free can be triggered by racing between the free on the struct and the access through the `skbtxq` global queue. This could lead to a denial of service condition or potential code execution.

Summary
  • (es) Se encontró una falla en el controlador ATA sobre Ethernet (AoE) en el kernel de Linux. La función aoecmd_cfg_pkts() actualiza incorrectamente el refcnt en `struct net_device`, y se puede activar el use after free corriendo entre lo libre en la estructura y el acceso a través de la cola global `skbtxq`. Esto podría provocar una condición de denegación de servicio o una posible ejecución de código.
