As a result\nice_devlink_reinit_down() no longer calls ice_deinit_hw(), but\nice_devlink_reinit_up() still calls ice_init_hw(). Since the control\nqueues are not uninitialized, ice_init_hw() fails with -EBUSY.\n\nAdd ice_deinit_hw() to ice_devlink_reinit_down() to correspond with\nice_init_hw() in ice_devlink_reinit_up().","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:36.474251575Z","published":"2026-02-14T15:09:49.188Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/23xxx/CVE-2026-23117.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/42fb5f3deb582cb96440e4683745017dbabb83d6"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a3d99e2fbf01446d31a0d0dfc46444e915a1f6d4"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/23xxx/CVE-2026-23117.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-23117"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"c91eee346089e4d287d5a111719e57cac605275e"},{"fixed":"a3d99e2fbf01446d31a0d0dfc46444e915a1f6d4"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"1390b8b3d2bef9bfbb852fc735430798bfca36e7"},{"fixed":"42fb5f3deb582cb96440e4683745017dbabb83d6"}]}],"versions":["v6.18.7","v6.18.6","v6.18.5","v6.18.4","v6.18.3","v6.18.2"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-23117.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.18.2"},{"fixed":"6.18.8"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-23117.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
