Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's fbnic driver. This flaw allows a local user to trigger a kernel crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). During power management suspend or failed resume operations, the driver frees interrupt vectors without clearing the active vector counter. When the network interface is subsequently closed or detached, the driver attempts to access the freed structures, leading to a null pointer dereference.
