This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

net/mlx5e: IPoIB, Block PKEY interfaces with less rx queues than parent

A user is able to configure an arbitrary number of rx queues when

creating an interface via netlink. This doesn't work for child PKEY

interfaces because the child interface uses the parent receive channels.

Although the child shares the parent's receive channels, the number of

rx queues is important for the channel_stats array: the parent's rx

channel index is used to access the child's channel_stats. So the array

has to be at least as large as the parent's rx queue size for the

counting to work correctly and to prevent out of bound accesses.

This patch checks for the mentioned scenario and returns an error when

trying to create the interface. The error is propagated to the user.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
