CVE-2024-46679 is a race condition in the Linux kernel ethtool link-settings retrieval path. A sysfs read of network-interface link settings can overlap with reset or removal of that network device. Callers of __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() could access device state without first confirming that the device retained the present state. The observed qede driver path can consequently dereference state associated with a no-longer-present device and panic the kernel. The fix centralizes device-presence validation in ethtool, protecting all link-settings callers. The issue was introduced in Linux 2.6.33 and is fixed upstream in Linux 5.4.283, 5.10.225, 5.15.166, 6.1.108, 6.6.49, 6.10.8, and 6.11-rc6 and later releases.
