Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sparx5: Fix use after free inside sparx5_del_mact_entry
Based on the static analyzis of the code it looks like when an entry
from the MAC table was removed, the entry was still used after being
freed. More precise the vid of the mac_entry was used after calling
devm_kfree on the mac_entry.
The fix consists in first using the vid of the mac_entry to delete the
entry from the HW and after that to free it.
A flaw was found in the Microchip Sparx5 network switch driver within the Linux kernel. When an entry is removed from the Media Access Control (MAC) address table, the driver accesses data from the entry after it has already been freed from memory. A privileged local user could exploit this use-after-free condition to cause memory corruption, resulting in a system crash and a Denial of Service (DoS).
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Low severity because exploitation requires local privileged access and the presence of specialized Microchip Sparx-5 network switch hardware. Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not enable or compile this network switch driver in standard kernel builds, leaving default enterprise deployments unexposed. Consequently, the flaw presents minimal operational risk and does not affect supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux installations.
