Descriptions

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

net/mlx5: Discard command completions in internal error

Fix use after free when FW completion arrives while device is in
internal error state. Avoid calling completion handler in this case,
since the device will flush the command interface and trigger all
completions manually.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net/mlx5: descartar la finalización de comandos en caso de error interno. Se corrige el use-after-free cuando llega la finalización del FW mientras el dispositivo está en estado de error interno. Evite llamar al controlador de finalización en este caso, ya que el dispositivo limpiará la interfaz de comando y activará todas las finalizaciones manualmente.
