CVE-2023-53079

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved, related to the net/mlx5 module. The issue occurs when the vport's mc, uc, and multicast rules are not deleted in the teardown path after an EEH (Error Handling) event, causing the kernel to crash when trying to delete these rules during initialization. The fix involves nullifying these rules after deletion to prevent accessing dangling pointers.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
