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

ice: move netifqueuesetnapi to rtnl-protected sections

Currently, netifqueuesetnapi() is called from icevsirebuild() that is not rtnl-locked when called from the reset. This creates the need to take the rtnllock just for a single function and complicates the synchronization with .ndobpf. At the same time, there no actual need to fill napi-to-queue information at this exact point.

Fill napi-to-queue information when opening the VSI and clear it when the VSI is being closed. Those routines are already rtnl-locked.

Also, rewrite napi-to-queue assignment in a way that prevents inclusion of XDP queues, as this leads to out-of-bounds writes, such as one below.
