Description

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

net/mlx5e: Fix page reclaim for dead peer hairpin

When adding a hairpin flow, a firmware-side send queue is created for the peer net device, which claims some host memory pages for its internal ring buffer. If the peer net device is removed/unbound before the hairpin flow is deleted, then the send queue is not destroyed which leads to a stack trace on pci device remove:
