In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/netfront: react properly to failing gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref()
When calling gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref() the returned value must
be tested and the reaction to that value should be appropriate.
In case of failure in xennet_get_responses() the reaction should not be
to crash the system, but to disable the network device.
The calls in setup_netfront() can be replaced by calls of
gnttab_end_foreign_access(). While at it avoid double free of ring
pages and grant references via xennet_disconnect_backend() in this case.
This is CVE-2022-23042 / part of XSA-396.
