Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to the ibmvnic driver in the Linux kernel, where a memory leak could occur due to the lack of a check to ensure that the skb address is null. This could cause tcp congestion control to stop sending packets, eventually leading to ETIMEDOUT. The driver has been updated to add a conditional check to prevent this issue.
