"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/mlx5e: Fix eswitch mode block underflow on IPsec acquire SA\n\nmlx5e_xfrm_add_state() handles acquire-flow temporary SAs by allocating\nsoftware state and skipping hardware offload setup.\n\nThat path jumps to the common success label before taking the eswitch mode\nblock. After tunnel-mode validation was moved earlier, the common success\nlabel unconditionally calls mlx5_eswitch_unblock_mode(). For acquire SAs,\nthis decrements esw->offloads.num_block_mode without a matching increment.\n\nReturn directly after installing the acquire SA offload handle, so only the\npaths that successfully called mlx5_eswitch_block_mode() call the matching\nunblock."

"value": "AV:N - A remote TCP SYN can cause the kernel to route a SYN-ACK through an administrator-configured outbound mlx5 IPsec policy, reaching xfrm_state_find() and the vulnerable acquire-SA callback.\nAC:L - Once the affected packet-offload policy is deployed without a matching SA, the first matching flow deterministically performs the unmatched decrement; no race must be won.\nPR:N - The remote peer needs no credentials or capabilities; configuring the mlx5 IPsec policy is a deployment prerequisite, not an attacker privilege.\nUI:R - The highest-impact stale-object path requires an administrator to request an eswitch mode transition after the attacker has cancelled the live mode-block reference.\nS:U - The resulting corruption affects the same host kernel and mlx5 device security authority, without crossing a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - The incorrectly permitted mode transition frees mlx5 IPsec structures while XFRM policies retain references to them, creating subsequent use-after-free callbacks capable of exposing kernel memory.\nI:H - The stale policy and flow-table references can be reclaimed and attacker-influenced, making the resulting kernel use-after-free potentially exploitable for arbitrary writes or control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - Mode-transition teardown or later automatic policy expiration can dereference freed IPsec and flow-rule objects, causing a kernel warning, oops, or panic."
