In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: fix out-of-bounds writes in iavf_get_ethtool_stats()
iavf incorrectly uses real_num_tx_queues for ETH_SS_STATS. Since the
value could change in runtime, we should use num_tx_queues instead.
Moreover iavf_get_ethtool_stats() uses num_active_queues while
iavf_get_sset_count() and iavf_get_stat_strings() use
real_num_tx_queues, which triggers out-of-bounds writes when we do
"ethtool -L" and "ethtool -S" simultaneously [1].
For example when we change channels from 1 to 8, Thread 3 could be
scheduled before Thread 2, and out-of-bounds writes could be triggered
in Thread 3:
Thread 1 (ethtool -L) Thread 2 (work) Thread 3 (ethtool -S)
iavf_set_channels()
...
iavf_alloc_queues()
-> num_active_queues = 8
iavf_schedule_finish_config()
iavf_get_sset_count()
real_num_tx_queues: 1
-> buffer for 1 queue
iavf_get_ethtool_stats()
num_active_queues: 8
-> out-of-bounds!
iavf_finish_config()
-> real_num_tx_queues = 8
Use immutable num_tx_queues in all related functions to avoid the issue.

kernel: iavf: fix out-of-bounds writes in iavf_get_ethtool_stats()
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's iavf driver. This vulnerability, an out-of-bounds write, occurs when a user simultaneously executes specific ethtool commands, specifically "ethtool -L" and "ethtool -S". This can lead to memory corruption, potentially causing a system crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: fix out-of-bounds writes in iavf_get_ethtool_stats()
iavf incorrectly uses real_num_tx_queues for ETH_SS_STATS. Since the
value could change in runtime, we should use num_tx_queues instead.
Moreover iavf_get_ethtool_stats() uses num_active_queues while
iavf_get_sset_count() and iavf_get_stat_strings() use
real_num_tx_queues, which triggers out-of-bounds writes when we do
"ethtool -L" and "ethtool -S" simultaneously [1].
For example when we change channels from 1 to 8, Thread 3 could be
scheduled before Thread 2, and out-of-bounds writes could be triggered
in Thread 3:
Thread 1 (ethtool -L) Thread 2 (work) Thread 3 (ethtool -S)
