However, previous\nrqs have already initialized XDP and enabled NAPI, which is not the\nexpected behavior. Need to roll back the previous rq initialization\nto avoid leaks in error unwinding of init code.\n\nAlso extract helper functions of disable and enable queue pairs.\nUse newly introduced disable helper function in error unwinding and\nvirtnet_close. Use enable helper function in virtnet_open.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/037768b28e3752c07d63d1c72a651a6775b080bb","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5306623a9826aa7d63b32c6a3803c798a765474d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6a7690f2bd178eee80f33411ae32e543ae66379c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/73f53bc295727a3cdbd9d6bcdfaa239258970cf4"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:11:26.888974865+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-53499","score":0.0016,"percentile":0.05109,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
