After tunnel-mode validation was moved earlier, the common success\nlabel unconditionally calls mlx5_eswitch_unblock_mode(). For acquire SAs,\nthis decrements esw->offloads.num_block_mode without a matching increment.\n\nReturn directly after installing the acquire SA offload handle, so only the\npaths that successfully called mlx5_eswitch_block_mode() call the matching\nunblock.","published":"2026-07-25T10:17:38.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-19T21:17:42.000Z","status":"Received","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-190"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00512,"percentile":0.43384,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.51%).
