CVE-2025-39922 | ixgbe: fix incorrect map used in eee linkmode

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ixgbe: fix incorrect map used in eee linkmode incorrectly used ixgbe_lp_map in loops intended to populate the supported and advertised EEE linkmode bitmaps based on ixgbe_ls_map. This results in incorrect bit setting and potential out-of-bounds access, since ixgbe_lp_map and ixgbe_ls_map have different sizes and purposes. ixgbe_lp_map[i] -> ixgbe_ls_map[i] Use ixgbe_ls_map for supported and advertised linkmodes, and keep ixgbe_lp_map usage only for link partner (lp_advertised) mapping.

7.1 3.1 HIGH
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:L)
They already need access on the box, or another person has to do something wrong; it’s not a remote drive-by.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
