CVE-2026-64522

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

net/mlx5e: Fix eswitch mode block underflow on IPsec acquire SA

mlx5e_xfrm_add_state() handles acquire-flow temporary SAs by allocating

software state and skipping hardware offload setup.

That path jumps to the common success label before taking the eswitch mode

block. After tunnel-mode validation was moved earlier, the common success

label unconditionally calls mlx5_eswitch_unblock_mode(). For acquire SAs,

this decrements esw->offloads.num_block_mode without a matching increment.

Return directly after installing the acquire SA offload handle, so only the

paths that successfully called mlx5_eswitch_block_mode() call the matching

unblock.
