In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igb: clean up in all error paths when enabling SR-IOV
After commit 50f303496d92 ("igb: Enable SR-IOV after reinit"), removing
the igb module could hang or crash (depending on the machine) when the
module has been loaded with the max_vfs parameter set to some value != 0.
In case of one test machine with a dual port 82580, this hang occurred:
