What it is
From the CVE record
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: veth: manage XDP program pointers during channel resize veth_set_channels() tears down XDP resources for removed RX queues without clearing rq->xdp_prog. If the program is then detached or replaced, those queues keep the old pointer after bpf_prog_put(). A later channel increase can re-enable NAPI and run the freed program.
