CVE-2024-58057 is a Linux kernel vulnerability in the Intel Infrastructure Data Path Function (IDPF) Ethernet driver. IDPF workqueues were bound to the CPU on which work was enqueued. If that CPU is monopolized by another process, the associated kworker can be starved, substantially delaying IDPF work completion. The resulting delays can degrade network-driver performance, cause timeouts, and ultimately crash the system. The issue was introduced in Linux kernel 6.7.

Linux kernel IDPF workqueue handling issue.
Linux kernel IDPF network-driver workqueue flaw.
A Linux kernel IDPF driver workqueue scheduling issue in which CPU-bound kworkers can be starved by a process monopolizing the selected CPU, causing delayed completions, performance degradation, timeouts, and potential system crashes. The fix converts the IDPF workqueues to unbound workqueues so work can migrate to another CPU in the same NUMA node.
A Linux kernel IDPF network-driver availability vulnerability caused by CPU-bound workqueues. Local resource starvation—such as a process monopolizing CPU0—can delay IDPF work execution, resulting in degradation, timeouts, and potentially a system crash. The fix converts the driver workqueues to unbound workqueues so work can run on another available CPU in the same NUMA node.
