CVE-2023-54070

11
FAUCET Score

CVE-2023-54070 describes a Linux kernel vulnerability in the igb driver affecting Intel 82580 network adapters. When the igb module is loaded with SR-IOV enabled (max_vfs parameter set), removing the module can cause a system hang or crash due to improper cleanup if pci_enable_sriov() fails. This issue stems from a change in commit 50f303496d92 that prevented necessary cleanup routines from executing. While no CVSS score is provided, the FAUCET Risk Score is 7/100, indicating a low severity. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
