Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's cxgb4 network driver. During connection cleanup or error handling, the driver removes entries from an internal tracking table without disabling software interrupts. If concurrent network traffic triggers an interrupt on the same processor core during this cleanup, it can attempt to acquire the lock held by the interrupted process, causing a deadlock. This issue leads to a kernel hang, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
