Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Linux Kernel up to 5.10.131/5.15.55/5.18.12 and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects the function aq_nic_deinit. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information disclosure vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: atlantic: remove aq_nic_deinit() when resume aq_nic_deinit() has been called while suspending, so we don't have to call it again on resume. Actually, call it again leads to another hang issue when resuming from S3.
