Oracle Linux: CVE-2025-21883: ELSA-2025-9302: kernel security update (MODERATE) (Multiple Advisories)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Fix deinitializing VF in error path
If ice_ena_vfs() fails after calling ice_create_vf_entries(), it frees
all VFs without removing them from snapshot PF-VF mailbox list, leading
to list corruption.
Reproducer:
devlink dev eswitch set $PF1_PCI mode switchdev
ip l s $PF1 up
ip l s $PF1 promisc on
sleep 1
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/$PF1/device/sriov_numvfs
sleep 1
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/$PF1/device/sriov_numvfs
Trace (minimized):
list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev (ffff8882e241c6f0), but was 0000000000000000. (next=ffff888455da1330).

Sometimes a KASAN report can be seen instead with a similar stack trace:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __list_add_valid_or_report+0xf1/0x100
VFs are added to this list in ice_mbx_init_vf_info(), but only removed
in ice_free_vfs(). Move the removing to ice_free_vf_entries(), which is
also being called in other places where VFs are being removed (including
ice_free_vfs() itself).
A use-after-free vulnerability was discovered in the Linux kernel's Ethernet Connection E800 Series driver, which is responsible for managing network connections. This issue occurs when an attacker with local privileges intentionally triggers this error path, causing an error to occur in the ice_ena_vfs() function, a critical part of this driver.
