CVSS 3.1
7.8 highCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2024-57801
High (7.8) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Skip restore TC rules for vport rep without loaded flag
During driver unload, unregister_netdev is called after unloading
vport rep. So, the mlx5e_rep_priv is already freed while trying to get
rpriv->netdev, or walk rpriv->tc_ht, which results in use-after-free.
So add the checking to make sure access the data of vport rep which is
still loaded.
