Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/mlx5: Fix a race on command flush flow

Fix a refcount use after free warning due to a race on command entry.
Such race occurs when one of the commands releases its last refcount and
frees its index and entry while another process running command flush
flow takes refcount to this command entry. The process which handles
commands flush may see this command as needed to be flushed if the other
process released its refcount but didn't release the index yet. Fix it
by adding the needed spin lock.

It fixes the following warning trace:

refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
WARNING: CPU: 11 PID: 540311 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0x80/0xe0

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net/mlx5: Corregir una ejecución en el flujo de descarga de comandos. Corregir una advertencia de refcount use after free debido a una ejecución en la entrada de comandos. Dicha ejecución ocurre cuando uno de los comandos libera su último recuento y libera su índice y entrada, mientras que otro proceso que ejecuta el flujo de descarga de comandos toma el recuento de esta entrada de comando. El proceso que maneja los comandos de vaciado puede considerar que este comando es necesario para vaciarlo si el otro proceso publicó su recuento pero aún no publicó el índice. Solucionarlo agregando el bloqueo de giro necesario. Corrige el siguiente seguimiento de advertencia: refcount_t: adición en 0; use-after-free.
