In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum_acl_tcam: Fix stack corruption
When tc filters are first added to a net device, the corresponding local
port gets bound to an ACL group in the device. The group contains a list
of ACLs. In turn, each ACL points to a different TCAM region where the
filters are stored. During forwarding, the ACLs are sequentially
evaluated until a match is found.
One reason to place filters in different regions is when they are added
with decreasing priorities and in an alternating order so that two
consecutive filters can never fit in the same region because of their
key usage.
In Spectrum-2 and newer ASICs the firmware started to report that the
maximum number of ACLs in a group is more than 16, but the layout of the
register that configures ACL groups (PAGT) was not updated to account
for that. It is therefore possible to hit stack corruption [1] in the
rare case where more than 16 ACLs in a group are required.
Fix by limiting the maximum ACL group size to the minimum between what
the firmware reports and the maximum ACLs that fit in the PAGT register.
Add a test case to make sure the machine does not crash when this
condition is hit.

A kernel stack flaw that corrupted the Linux kernel’s Mellanox Technologies Spectrum Ethernet driver was found when a user initialized more than 16 access control lists (ACLs). This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the mlxsw_spectrum module from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for information on blacklisting a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
