What the advisory describes

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: TC, skip peer flow cleanup when LAG seq is unavailable mlx5_lag_get_dev_seq() will return error when the peer isn't in the LAG or when no device is marked as master. Result bad memory access and kernel crash[1]. Hence, skip the peer when lookup fails. Note: In case there are peer flows, they are cleaned before LAG cleared the master mark.

Products the advisory names

These come from the advisory itself, not from any check we performed.

The versions shown are the advisory's own. Patchlage compares no version numbers and derives no judgement from them — which version is installed is something a person has to look up.

Carried in the product catalogue

An estate covering these products can be recorded in Patchlage. An advisory about them appears in the next morning's situation report.

Does this concern one of your customers?

This page cannot answer that — it does not know your estate. Whoever has recorded their environments gets the answer the morning after publication, together with a paragraph they can forward to the customer unedited.

Patchlage reports hits and suspected hits. About everything else this system says nothing — neither this page nor the situation report ever claims that an estate is safe.
