Subject: CVE-2025-39969: i40e: fix validation of VF state in get resources

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

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

i40e: fix validation of VF state in get resources

VF state I40E_VF_STATE_ACTIVE is not the only state in which
VF is actually active so it should not be used to determine
if a VF is allowed to obtain resources.

Use I40E_VF_STATE_RESOURCES_LOADED that is set only in
i40e_vc_get_vf_resources_msg() and cleared during reset.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-39969 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
