- Summary
- net/mlx5: Always stop health timer during driver removal
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Always stop health timer during driver removal
Currently, if teardown_hca fails to execute during driver removal, mlx5 does not stop the health timer. Afterwards, mlx5 continue with driver teardown. This may lead to a UAF bug, which results in page fault Oops[1], since the health timer invokes after resources were freed.
Hence, stop the health monitor even if teardown_hca fails.
