In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ionic: fix use after netif_napi_del()

When queues are started, netif_napi_add() and napi_enable() are called.
If there are 4 queues and only 3 queues are used for the current
configuration, only 3 queues' napi should be registered and enabled.
The ionic_qcq_enable() checks whether the .poll pointer is not NULL for
enabling only the using queue' napi. Unused queues' napi will not be
registered by netif_napi_add(), so the .poll pointer indicates NULL.
But it couldn't distinguish whether the napi was unregistered or not
because netif_napi_del() doesn't reset the .poll pointer to NULL.
So, ionic_qcq_enable() calls napi_enable() for the queue, which was
unregistered by netif_napi_del().

Reproducer:
ethtool -L <interface name> rx 1 tx 1 combined 0
ethtool -L <interface name> rx 0 tx 0 combined 1
ethtool -L <interface name> rx 0 tx 0 combined 4
