In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in mlx5_query_nic_vport_mac_list
mlx5_query_nic_vport_mac_list() sizes its firmware command buffer using
the PF's log_max_current_uc/mc_list capabilities. When querying a VF
vport with a larger configured max (via devlink), the firmware response
can overflow this buffer:

Fix by querying the vport's own HCA caps to size the buffer correctly.
Refactor the function to allocate and return the MAC list internally,
removing the caller's dependency on knowing the correct max.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mlx5 driver. The mlx5_query_nic_vport_mac_list function, which handles querying network interface card (NIC) virtual port (vport) MAC addresses, incorrectly sizes its internal buffer. When a Virtual Function (VF) vport is queried with a larger configured maximum, the firmware response can overflow this buffer. This leads to a memory corruption issue, specifically a slab-out-of-bounds error, which could potentially be exploited by an attacker to cause a denial of service or other system instability.
