CVE-2022-50710: Linux

EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ice: set tx_tstamps when creating new Tx rings via ethtool When the user changes the number of queues via ethtool, the driver allocates new rings. This allocation did not initialize tx_tstamps. This results in the tx_tstamps field being zero (due to kcalloc allocation), and would result in a NULL pointer dereference when attempting a transmit timestamp on the new ring.

Affected products

• Linux Linux: from 5.14, before 5.15.75 (fixed in 5.15.75); from 5.16, before 5.19.17 (fixed in 5.19.17); from 5.20, before 6.0.3 (fixed in 6.0.3)
