CVE-2021-47400 (Moderate severity, published 2024-05-20)
CVSS score: 4.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CWE: CWE-664
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: hns3: do not allow call hns3_nic_net_open repeatedly

hns3_nic_net_open() is not allowed to called repeatly, but there
is no checking for this. When doing device reset and setup tc
concurrently, there is a small oppotunity to call hns3_nic_net_open
repeatedly, and cause kernel bug by calling napi_enable twice.

The calltrace information is like below:

Once hns3_nic_net_open() is excute success, the flag
HNS3_NIC_STATE_DOWN will be cleared. So add checking for this
flag, directly return when HNS3_NIC_STATE_DOWN is no set.
Statement: This vulnerability is rated as moderate because its impact is limited by specific conditions that need to be met for exploitation.
Mitigation: Red Hat has investigated whether a possible mitigation exists for this issue, and has not been able to identify a practical example. Please update the affected package as soon as possible.
