Last modified

CVE-2024-42113 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: txgbe: initialize num_q_vectors for MSI/INTx interrupts When using MSI/INTx interrupts, wx->num_q_vectors is uninitialized. Thus there will be kernel panic in wx_alloc_q_vectors() to allocate queue vectors.. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
