Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: Don't store mlx5e_priv in
mlx5e_dev devlink priv mlx5e_priv is an unstable structure that can be memset(0) if profile attaching
fails, mlx5e_priv in mlx5e_dev devlink private is used to reference the netdev and mdev associated with
that struct. Instead, store netdev directly into mlx5e_dev and get mdev from the containing mlx5_adev aux
device structure. This fixes a kernel oops in mlx5e_remove when switchdev mode fails due to change profile
failure. $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:00:03.0 mode switchdev Error: mlx5_core: Failed setting
eswitch to offloads. dmesg: workqueue: Failed to create a rescuer kthread for wq "mlx5e": -EINTR mlx5_core
