Further debugging showed\nthat igb_enable_sriov()'s call to pci_enable_sriov() is failing, because\ndev->is_physfn is 0 on 82580.\n\nPrior to commit 50f303496d92 (\"igb: Enable SR-IOV after reinit\"),\nigb_enable_sriov() jumped into the \"err_out\" cleanup branch.  After this\ncommit it only returned the error code.\n\nSo the cleanup didn't take place, and the incorrect VF setup in the\nigb_adapter structure fooled the igb driver into assuming that VFs have\nbeen set up where no VF actually existed.\n\nFix this problem by cleaning up again if pci_enable_sriov() fails.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0e3ea7e82a06014b9baf1b84ba579c38cbff3558","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bc6ed2fa24b14e40e1005488bbe11268ce7108fa"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:18:08.089039631+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-54070","score":0.00185,"percentile":0.08082,"date":"2026-10-31"},"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).
