In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gve: Account for stopped queues when reading NIC stats We now account for the fact that the NIC might send us stats for a subset of queues. Without this change, gve_get_ethtool_stats might make an invalid access on the priv->stats_report->stats array.
