In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Use correct encap attribute during invalidation
With introduction of post action infrastructure most of the users of encap
attribute had been modified in order to obtain the correct attribute by
calling mlx5e_tc_get_encap_attr() helper instead of assuming encap action
is always on default attribute. However, the cited commit didn't modify
mlx5e_invalidate_encap() which prevents it from destroying correct modify
header action which leads to a warning [0]. Fix the issue by using correct
attribute.

A flaw was found in the mlx5e Traffic Control (TC) encapsulation logic in the net/mlx5e driver of the Linux kernel. The code responsible for invalidating encapsulation actions did not use the proper helper function to retrieve the correct encapsulation attribute, instead assuming the default attribute would suffice. When the post-action infrastructure was introduced, most users of the encap attribute were updated to call mlx5e_tc_get_encap_attr() to obtain the correct attribute; however, the invalidation path in mlx5e_invalidate_encap() was not updated accordingly. This could result in improper destruction of header modify actions and generate WARNINGS in the kernel log.
