CVE-2026-64122CVE-2026-64122
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix use-after-free in mlx5e_tx_reporter_timeout_recover
mlx5e_tx_reporter_timeout_recover() accesses sq->netdev after
mlx5e_safe_reopen_channels() has torn down and freed the channel (and
its embedded SQs). Replace the three sq->netdev references with
priv->netdev which is safe because priv outlives channel teardown.
The netdev_err() call already used priv->netdev for this reason; make
the trylock/unlock and health_channel_eq_recover calls consistent.
This fixes the following KASAN splat:
