7.8 · HIGHOverview
CVE-2021-47400 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 21, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hns3: do not allow call hns3_nic_net_open repeatedly
hns3_nic_net_open() is not allowed to called repeatly, but there
is no checking for this. When doing device reset and setup tc
concurrently, there is a small oppotunity to call hns3_nic_net_open
repeatedly, and cause kernel bug by calling napi_enable twice.
The calltrace information is like below:
