In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bcmgenet: restore the hardware filters on open
bcmgenet hfb init() runs INIT LIST HEAD() on priv->rxnfc list, which drops every rule off the list, and bcmgenet open() calls it on each ifup. Every rule the user configured is silently lost:

ethtool -N eth0 flow-type ether dst $MAC action 0

Added rule with ID 0

ethtool -n eth0 | grep -c Filter:

1

ip link set eth0 down && ip link set eth0 up

ethtool -n eth0 | grep -c Filter:

0
Initialise the lists once at probe and restore the rules on open, as bcmgenet resume() already does.
