Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: Fix null deref accessing lag dev It could be the lag dev is null so stop processing the event.
In bond_enslave() the active/backup slave being set before setting the
upper dev so first event is without an upper dev.
After setting the upper dev with bond_master_upper_dev_link() there is
a second event and in that event we have an upper dev.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net/mlx5e: corrigió el deref nulo al acceder a lag dev. Podría ser que el lag dev sea nulo, así que deje de procesar el evento. En bond_enslave(), el esclavo activo/de respaldo se configura antes de configurar el desarrollo superior, por lo que el primer evento es sin un desarrollo superior. Después de configurar el desarrollo superior con bond_master_upper_dev_link() hay un segundo evento y en ese evento tenemos un desarrollo superior.
