CVE-2024-57801: Linux Kernel

High severity, CVSS 7.8. 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.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 6.6, before 6.6.70 (fixed in 6.6.70); from 6.7, before 6.12.9 (fixed in 6.12.9); version 6.13 only
