In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix command bitmask initialization
Command bitmask have a dedicated bit for MANAGE_PAGES command, this bit
isn't Initialize during command bitmask Initialization, only during
MANAGE_PAGES.
In addition, mlx5_cmd_trigger_completions() is trying to trigger
completion for MANAGE_PAGES command as well.
Hence, in case health error occurred before any MANAGE_PAGES command
have been invoke (for example, during mlx5_enable_hca()),
mlx5_cmd_trigger_completions() will try to trigger completion for
MANAGE_PAGES command, which will result in null-ptr-deref error.[1]
Fix it by Initialize command bitmask correctly.
While at it, re-write the code for better understanding.

A flaw was found in the net/mlx5 driver of the Linux kernel. Incorrect initialization of the command bitmask for the MANAGE_PAGES command can lead to a null-pointer dereference in mlx5_cmd_trigger_completions() if a health error occurs before the MANAGE_PAGES command is invoked. This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the mlx5_core kernel module from loading. This can be achieved by blacklisting the module. Create a file named /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-mlx5_core.conf with the following content:
blacklist mlx5_core
After creating the file, regenerate the initramfs and reboot the system for the changes to take effect. This mitigation may impact functionality if Mellanox network adapters are in use.
