Commit 66e3531b33ee51dad17c463b4d9c9f52e341503d upstream. When calling gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref() the returned value must be tested and the reaction to that value should be appropriate. In case of failure in xennet_get_responses() the reaction should not be to crash the system, but to disable the network device. The calls in setup_netfront() can be replaced by calls of gnttab_end_foreign_access(). While at it avoid double free of ring pages and grant references via xennet_disconnect_backend() in this case. This is CVE-2022-23042 / part of XSA-396.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
