In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: E-Switch: fix use-after-free in mlx5_eswitch_termtbl_put
In mlx5_eswitch_termtbl_put(), the zero-ref cleanup check reads
tt->ref_count after termtbl_mutex has been released. Two concurrent
callers on the same mlx5_termtbl_handle race: one decrements ref_count
to zero, removes the hash entry, and calls kfree(tt) while the other
has already dropped the mutex and is about to evaluate
if (!tt->ref_count), producing a use-after-free.
Fix this by capturing the result of the decrement into a stack-local
last variable before dropping the mutex. The cleanup decision is now
made entirely under termtbl_mutex, and tt is not touched after
kfree.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mlx5 driver. A local attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a use-after-free vulnerability in the network switch offload mechanism. This issue arises when concurrent operations race while releasing termination table handles in the mlx5_eswitch_termtbl_put() function, allowing memory to be accessed after it has already been freed.
