performing expensive deallocations. It is discouraged to\nunregister the netdev in this path, so the device may still be visible\nto userspace and kernel helpers.\n\nIn gve, shutdown() tears down most internal data structures. If an\nethtool operation is dispatched after shutdown(), it will dereference\nfreed or NULL pointers, leading to a kernel panic. While graceful\nshutdown normally quiesces userspace before invoking the reboot\nsyscall, forced shutdowns (as observed on GCP VMs) can still trigger\nthis path.\n\nFix by calling netif_device_detach() in shutdown().\nThis marks the device as detached so the ethtool ioctl handler\nwill skip dispatching operations to the driver."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta:\n\ngve: evitar operaciones de ethtool despu\u00e9s del apagado\n\nPuede ocurrir un fallo si se invoca una operaci\u00f3n de ethtool despu\u00e9s de que se llama a shutdown().\n\nshutdown() se invoca durante el apagado del sistema para detener las operaciones DMA sin realizar desasignaciones costosas.
