## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

igb: Fix potential invalid memory access in igb_init_module()

The pci_register_driver() can fail and when this happened, the dca_notifier
needs to be unregistered, otherwise the dca_notifier can be called when
igb fails to install, resulting to invalid memory access.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 2.6.30, < 5.4.287`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.5, < 5.10.231`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.11, < 5.15.174`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.120`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.66`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.12.5`
- `linux_kernel = 2.6.29`
- `linux_kernel = 6.13`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.12.5`
