What to do
AI-suggested
A fix has been applied in the Linux kernel to remove the WARN_ONCE() call in hsr_addr_is_self(). Users should update to a Linux kernel version that includes this fix. Patch status is not explicitly provided, so users should consult the vendor or Linux kernel release notes for the specific fixed version.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's hsr (High-availability Seamless Redundancy) module was addressed by removing a WARN_ONCE() call in the hsr_addr_is_self() function. The warning was triggered due to an incorrect assumption about the state of hsr->self_node during device removal, which could cause a kernel warning or soft lockup. This issue does not impact confidentiality or integrity but can cause an availability impact due to kernel warnings or potential soft lockups.
