In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: devlink: rate: Unset parent pointer in devl_rate_nodes_destroy The function devl_rate_nodes_destroy is documented to "Unset parent for all rate objects". However, it was only calling the driver-specific `rate_leaf_parent_set` or `rate_node_parent_set` ops and decrementing the parent's refcount, without actually setting the `devlink_rate->parent` pointer to NULL. This leaves a dangling pointer in the `devlink_rate` struct, which cause refcount error in netdevsim[1] and mlx5[2]. In addition, this is inconsistent with the behavior of `devlink_nl_rate_parent_node_set`, where the parent pointer is correctly cleared. This patch fixes the issue by explicitly setting `devlink_rate->parent` to NULL after notifying the driver, thus fulfilling the function's documented behavior for all rate objects.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - devlink: rate: Unset parent pointer in devl_rate_nodes_destroy The function devl_rate_nodes_destroy is     documented to Unset parent for all rate objects. However, it was only calling the driver-specific     `rate_leaf_parent_set` or `rate_node_parent_set` ops and decrementing the parent's refcount, without     actually setting the `devlink_rate->parent` pointer to NULL. This leaves a dangling pointer in the     `devlink_rate` struct, which cause refcount error in netdevsim[1] and mlx5[2]. In addition, this is     inconsistent with the behavior of `devlink_nl_rate_parent_node_set`, where the parent pointer is correctly     cleared. This patch fixes the issue by explicitly setting `devlink_rate->parent` to NULL after notifying     the driver, thus fulfilling the function's documented behavior for all rate objects.
