DescriptionNVD

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

ionic: fix kernel panic in XDP_TX action

In the XDP_TX path, ionic driver sends a packet to the TX path with rx page and corresponding dma address. After tx is done, ionic_tx_clean() frees that page. But RX ring buffer isn't reset to NULL. So, it uses a freed page, which causes kernel panic.
