Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ice driver. During a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) reset, the driver incorrectly allocates a timestamp ring due to a faulty check of the Virtual Station Interface (VSI) type. This allocated memory is not properly released, leading to a memory leak. Repeated PCI resets could exhaust system resources, potentially causing a Denial of Service (DoS).
