Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2024-42110 (Linux). CVSS 7.5 → 5.5 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ntb_netdev: Move ntb_netdev_rx_handler() to call netif_rx() from __netif_rx()
The following is emitted when using idxd (DSA) dmanegine as the data
mover for ntb_transport that ntb_netdev uses.

The cause is due to the idxd driver interrupt completion handler uses
threaded interrupt and the threaded handler is not hard or soft interrupt
context. However __netif_rx() can only be called from interrupt context.
Change the call to netif_rx() in order to allow completion via normal
context for dmaengine drivers that utilize threaded irq handling.
While the following commit changed from netif_rx() to __netif_rx(),
baebdf48c360 ("net: dev: Makes sure netif_rx() can be invoked in any context."),
the change should've been a noop instead. However, the code precedes this
fix should've been using netif_rx_ni() or netif_rx_any_context().
