🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널의 ice 드라이버에서 XDP 설정과 PF 리셋 간의 동기화 문제로 인해 발생하는 취약점입니다. 비동기적인 PF 리셋이 발생할 경우 데이터 일관성이 깨지며 커널 NULL 포인터 역참조로 인한 시스템 크래시(Panic)가 발생할 수 있습니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
네트워크 카드를 설정하는 도중에 갑자기 카드가 재시작되면 컴퓨터 시스템이 충돌하여 멈출 수 있는 문제입니다. 이를 방지하기 위해 설정 작업이 끝날 때까지 재시작을 잠시 기다리도록 하는 안전장치가 필요합니다.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: protect XDP configuration with a mutex
The main threat to data consistency in ice_xdp() is a possible asynchronous
PF reset. It can be triggered by a user or by TX timeout handler.
XDP setup and PF reset code access the same resources in the following
sections:
* ice_vsi_close() in ice_prepare_for_reset() - already rtnl-locked
* ice_vsi_rebuild() for the PF VSI - not protected
* ice_vsi_open() - already rtnl-locked
With an unfortunate timing, such accesses can result in a crash such as the
one below:

The previous way of handling this through returning -EBUSY is not viable,
particularly when destroying AF_XDP socket, because the kernel proceeds
with removal anyway.
There is plenty of code between those calls and there is no need to create
a large critical section that covers all of them, same as there is no need
to protect ice_vsi_rebuild() with rtnl_lock().
Add xdp_state_lock mutex to protect ice_vsi_rebuild() and ice_xdp().
Leaving unprotected sections in between would result in two states that
have to be considered:
1. when the VSI is closed, but not yet rebuild
2. when VSI is already rebuild, but not yet open
The latter case is actually already handled through !netif_running() case,
we just need to adjust flag checking a little. The former one is not as
trivial, because between ice_vsi_close() and ice_vsi_rebuild(), a lot of
hardware interaction happens, this can make adding/deleting rings exit
with an error. Luckily, VSI rebuild is pending and can apply new
configuration for us in a managed fashion.
Therefore, add an additional VSI state flag ICE_VSI_REBUILD_PENDING to
indicate that ice_x
