Details

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

xen-netfront: Fix NULL sring after live migration

A NAPI is setup for each network sring to poll data to kernel The sring with source host is destroyed before live migration and new sring with target host is setup after live migration. The NAPI for the old sring is not deleted until setup new sring with target host after migration. With busy_poll/busy_read enabled, the NAPI can be polled before got deleted when resume VM.

xen frontend should remove the NAPIs for the old srings before live migration as the bond srings are destroyed

There is a tiny window between the srings are set to NULL and the NAPIs are disabled, It is safe as the NAPI threads are still frozen at that time
