Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's team driver. A local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN capabilities could exploit a race condition during a team device mode change. This occurs when the __team_change_mode() function clears internal operation pointers before safely restoring them, while the team_xmit() function concurrently attempts to transmit data. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference, causing the kernel to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
