CVE-2026-43199

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: Fix "scheduling while atomic" in IPsec MAC address query Fix a "scheduling while atomic" bug in mlx5e_ipsec_init_macs() by replacing mlx5_query_mac_address() with ether_addr_copy() to get the local MAC address directly from netdev->dev_addr. The issue occurs because mlx5_query_mac_address() queries the hardware which involves mlx5_cmd_exec() that can sleep, but it is called from the mlx5e_ipsec_handle_event workqueue which runs in atomic context. The MAC address is already available in netdev->dev_addr, so no need to query hardware. This avoids the sleeping call and resolves the bug.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: net/mlx5e: Corrección de ’scheduling while atomic’ en la consulta de dirección MAC de IPsec Se corrige un error de ’scheduling while atomic’ en mlx5e_ipsec_init_macs() reemplazando mlx5_query_mac_address() con ether_addr_copy() para obtener la dirección MAC local directamente de netdev -> dev_addr. El problema ocurre porque mlx5_query_mac_address() consulta el hardware, lo que implica mlx5_cmd_exec() que puede suspenderse, pero es llamada desde la workqueue mlx5e_ipsec_handle_event que se ejecuta en contexto atómico. La dirección MAC ya está disponible en netdev -> dev_addr, por lo que no es necesario consultar el hardware. Esto evita la llamada de suspensión y resuelve el error.
