What it is

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

net/mlx5: Use mlx5_ipsec_rx_status_destroy to correctly delete status rules

rx_create no longer allocates a modify_hdr instance that needs to be

cleaned up. The mlx5_modify_header_dealloc call will lead to a NULL pointer

dereference. A leak in the rules also previously occurred since there are

now two rules populated related to status.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000

#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode

#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
