If the workqueue\nallocation fails, the error path unregisters the switchdev and netdevice\nnotifiers, but leaves the blocking notifier registered.\n\nAdd a separate error label for the workqueue allocation failure path and\nunregister the switchdev blocking notifier there."

"value": "AV:L - Exploitation reaches sparx5_switchdev_blocking_event through global switchdev blocking notifier callbacks fired by local bridge/VLAN/MDB configuration via rtnetlink, not by processing remote packets on Sparx5 switch ports.\nAC:L - After a sparx5 probe workqueue ENOMEM leaves the blocking notifier registered and devm frees sparx5, an attacker can reliably trigger call_switchdev_blocking_notifiers with ordinary bridge or VLAN netlink operations without uncontrollable races.\nPR:L - Triggering switchdev blocking events requires CAP_NET_ADMIN for bridge/VLAN changes; unprivileged users can obtain that capability in user/network namespaces and invoke the global notifier chain from their own bridge configuration.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is required beyond the attacker performing network administration operations; no user must open files, mount filesystems, or click anything to reach the stale notifier callback.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel memory within the same kernel security authority on Sparx5/LAN969x switch platforms, enabling local privilege escalation but not VM escape or other cross-authority boundary bypass by itself.\nC:H - The leaked switchdev_blocking_nb remains on a global chain after devm frees the containing sparx5 structure; sparx5_switchdev_blocking_event dereferences it via container_of, creating a use-after-free that can disclose kernel memory.\nI:H - UAF callbacks such as sparx5_handle_port_vlan_add and MDB handlers dereference freed sparx5 state and can write through sparx5_mact_learn and related hardware programming, enabling memory corruption and potential arbitrary code execution.\nA:H - Dereferencing freed notifier_block and sparx5 structures during global switchdev blocking events can cause kernel oops, panic, or hang, disrupting availability on enterprise, industrial, and automotive Sparx5-managed switch systems."
