In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Take RTNL lock when needed before calling xdp_set_features()
Hold RTNL lock when calling xdp_set_features() with a registered netdev,
as the call triggers the netdev notifiers. This could happen when
switching from uplink rep to nic profile for example.
This resolves the following call trace:

---truncated---
A locking flaw in the Mellanox mlx5 Ethernet driver allowed calls to xdp_set_features() without holding the required rtnetlink (RTNL) lock.
A local administrator switching device profiles (for example, from an uplink representor to a Network Interface Card profile) could trigger notifier paths without proper synchronization, leading to kernel warnings and potential denial of service (system instability or crash).
Отчет
The issue stems from invoking XDP feature updates on a registered network device without the RTNL lock, which can race with network-device notifiers during profile changes in mlx5e. The fix ensures the RTNL lock is taken where required before updating XDP features.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent module mlx5_core from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
