In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: CT: Fix null-ptr-deref in add rule err flow
In error flow of mlx5_tc_ct_entry_add_rule(), in case ct_rule_add()
callback returns error, zone_rule->attr is used uninitiated. Fix it to
use attr which has the needed pointer value.
Kernel log:

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Mellanox mlx5 network driver. An uninitialized pointer is improperly accessed within the driver's error-handling path when adding connection tracking rules. A local user can exploit this vulnerability during a rule configuration failure, triggering a null pointer dereference that causes a system crash and Denial of Service (DoS).
Меры по смягчению последствий
Prevent the mlx5_core kernel module from loading if Mellanox ConnectX devices are not required on the host:
- Create a configuration file to blacklist the driver:
echo "blacklist mlx5_core" > /etc/modprobe.d/disable-mlx5_core.conf
echo "install mlx5_core /bin/true" >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-mlx5_core.conf
- If the module is loaded in the initial ramdisk, regenerate it:
dracut -f
- Reboot the system for the configuration to take effect. Caveat: Disabling the mlx5_core module disables all hardware support for Mellanox ConnectX network adapters and disrupts network connectivity on those interfaces. A host reboot is required to ensure the module is fully unloaded.
