After tunnel-mode validation was moved earlier, the common success\nlabel unconditionally calls mlx5_eswitch_unblock_mode(). For acquire SAs,\nthis decrements esw->offloads.num_block_mode without a matching increment.\n\nReturn directly after installing the acquire SA offload handle, so only the\npaths that successfully called mlx5_eswitch_block_mode() call the matching\nunblock.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-190"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/abe003b33223ff33552f291644bf35d9c2f992fb","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b5bd4249e430f5963d559708ee96a671716d2400","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ecafd8284e527666e83261e6e57a7c7341d591cb"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:56:58.798400159+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64522","score":0.00512,"percentile":0.43366,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
