CVE-2026-43012

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5: Fix switchdev mode rollback in case of failure If for some internal reason switchdev mode fails, we rollback to legacy mode, before this patch, rollback will unregister the uplink netdev and leave it unregistered causing the below kernel bug. To fix this, we need to avoid netdev unregister by setting the proper rollback flag 'MLX5_PRIV_FLAGS_SWITCH_LEGACY' to indicate legacy mode. devlink (431) used greatest stack depth: 11048 bytes left mlx5_core 0000:00:03.0: E-Switch: Disable: mode(LEGACY), nvfs(0), \ necvfs(0), active vports(0) mlx5_core 0000:00:03.0: E-Switch: Supported tc chains and prios offload mlx5_core 0000:00:03.0: Loading uplink representor for vport 65535 mlx5_core 0000:00:03.0: mlx5_cmd_out_err:816:(pid 456): \ QUERY_HCA_CAP(0x100) op_mod(0x0) failed, \ status bad parameter(0x3), syndrome (0x3a3846), err(-22) mlx5_core 0000:00:03.0 enp0s3np0 (unregistered): Unloading uplink \ representor for vport 65535 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:12070!

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: net/mlx5: Corregir la reversión del modo switchdev en caso de fallo Si por alguna razón interna el modo switchdev falla, volvemos al modo heredado; antes de este parche, la reversión anulará el registro del netdev de enlace ascendente y lo dejará sin registrar, causando el siguiente error del kernel. Para corregir esto, necesitamos evitar la anulación del registro del netdev estableciendo la bandera de reversión adecuada ’MLX5_PRIV_FLAGS_SWITCH_LEGACY’ para indicar el modo heredado. devlink (431) usó la mayor profundidad de pila: 11048 bytes restantes mlx5_core 0000:00:03.0: E-Switch: Deshabilitar: modo(LEGACY), nvfs(0), \ necvfs(0), vports activos(0) mlx5_core 0000:00:03.0: E-Switch: Descarga de cadenas tc y prios soportada mlx5_core 0000:00:03.0: Cargando representador de enlace ascendente para vport 65535 mlx5_core 0000:00:03.0: mlx5_cmd_out_err:816:(pid 456): \ QUERY_HCA_CAP(0x100) op_mod(0x0) falló, \ estado parámetro incorrecto(0x3), síndrome (0x 3a3846), err(-22) mlx5_core 0000:00:03.0 enp0s3np0 (sin registrar): Descargando representador de enlace ascendente \ para vport 65535 - - - - - - - - - - - -[ cortar aquí ]- - - - - - - - - - - - BUG del kernel en net/core/dev.c:12070!
