Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum: Protect driver from buggy firmware
When processing port up/down events generated by the device's firmware,
the driver protects itself from events reported for non-existent local
ports, but not the CPU port (local port 0), which exists, but lacks a
netdev.
This can result in a NULL pointer dereference when calling
netif_carrier_{on,off}().
Fix this by bailing early when processing an event reported for the CPU
port. Problem was only observed when running on top of a buggy emulator.
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's mlxsw spectrum driver, where processing port up/down events leads to a NULL pointer dereference. This issue occurs when the driver fails to handle events for the CPU port, which exists but lacks a corresponding network device, resulting in system crashes.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
