Original description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ice_vsi_set_napi_queues
Add NULL pointer checks in ice_vsi_set_napi_queues() to prevent crashes
during resume from suspend when rings[q_idx]->q_vector is NULL.
Tested adaptor:
60:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-XXV for SFP [8086:159b] (rev 02)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Ethernet Network Adapter E810-XXV-2 [8086:4003]
SR-IOV state: both disabled and enabled can reproduce this issue.
kernel version: v6.18
Reproduce steps:
Boot up and execute suspend like systemctl suspend or rtcwake.

before dereferencing, allowing the system to resume successfully even when
q_vectors are unmapped.
