Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: bnx2fc: Flush destroy_work queue before calling bnx2fc_interface_put() The bnx2fc_destroy() functions are removing the interface before calling destroy_work. This results multiple WARNings from sysfs_remove_group() as the controller rport device attributes are removed too early. Replace the fcoe_port's destroy_work queue. It's not needed. The problem is easily reproducible with the following steps. Example: $ dmesg -w & $ systemctl enable --now fcoe $ fipvlan -s -c ens2f1 $ fcoeadm -d ens2f1.802 [ 583.464488] host2: libfc: Link down on port (7500a1) [ 583.472651] bnx2fc: 7500a1 - rport not created Yet!!

Upgrade available Upgrade to 4.4.302 / 4.9.300 / 4.14.265 or later
Fixed in 4.4.3024.9.3004.14.265
Vendor patch git.kernel.org →
Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to Linux kernel 4.4.302 or later (if on 4.4.x branch), 4.9.300 or later (if on 4.9.x branch), 4.14.265 or later (if on 4.14.x branch), or 4.19.228 or later (if on 4.19.x branch). For older branches (e.g., 3.2+), upgrade to the latest stable kernel version available for your distribution.

  1. 1. Identify the current running kernel version using 'uname -r' or 'cat /proc/version'
  2. 2. Check if the current kernel version falls within any of the affected ranges: >= 3.2 and < 4.4.302, >= 4.5 and < 4.9.300, >= 4.10 and < 4.14.265, or >= 4.15 and < 4.19.228
  3. 3. If affected, upgrade the Linux kernel to a fixed version: 4.4.302+, 4.9.300+, 4.14.265+, or 4.19.228+ (or a later stable release)
  4. 4. After kernel upgrade, reboot the system to load the fixed kernel
  5. 5. Verify the fix by running 'modinfo bnx2fc' to confirm the module is loaded without errors
Caveat Kernel upgrades may introduce compatibility issues with custom drivers or modules compiled for the older kernel. Ensure all third-party kernel modules are recompiled for the new kernel version.
