{"id":"CVE-2026-68139","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-68139","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T05:59:45.600Z","title":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: Use sender devcom for MPV master-up After PCIe DPC recovery, mlx5 reloads the affected functions and replays multiport affiliation events.","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/mlx5e: Use sender devcom for MPV master-up\n\nAfter PCIe DPC recovery, mlx5 reloads the affected functions and\nreplays multiport affiliation events. In the reported failure, the\nfirst relevant device error was:\n\n  pcieport 0000:10:01.1: DPC: containment event\n  pcieport 0000:10:01.1: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Uncorrected (Fatal)\n  pcieport 0000:10:01.1:    [ 5] SDES                   (First)\n\nmlx5 recovered the PCI functions and resumed 0000:11:00.1. During\nthat resume, RDMA multiport binding replayed\nMLX5_DRIVER_EVENT_AFFILIATION_DONE and mlx5e sent\nMPV_DEVCOM_MASTER_UP. The host then panicked with:\n\n  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010\n  RIP: mlx5_devcom_comp_set_ready+0x5/0x40 [mlx5_core]\n  RDI: 0000000000000000\n\nCall trace included:\n\n  mlx5_devcom_comp_set_ready\n  mlx5e_devcom_event_mpv\n  mlx5_devcom_send_event\n  mlx5_ib_bind_slave_port\n  mlx5r_mp_probe\n  mlx5_pci_resume\n\nMPV devcom registration publishes mlx5e private data to the component\npeer list before mlx5e_devcom_init_mpv() stores the returned component\ndevice in priv->devcom. A concurrent master-up event can therefore\nreach a peer whose private data is visible but whose priv->devcom\nbackpointer is still NULL.\n\nMPV_DEVCOM_MASTER_UP already carries the sender/master mlx5e private\ndata as event_data. The ready bit is stored on the shared devcom\ncomponent, not on an individual peer. Use the sender devcom when\nmarking the MPV component ready.\n\nThis preserves the readiness transition while avoiding a NULL\ndereference of the peer devcom pointer during affiliation replay after\nPCI error recovery.","published":"2026-08-10T13:20:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-17T05:18:14.000Z","status":"Received","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":null,"cwe":[],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00175,"percentile":0.06995,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"unknown","text":"Not yet scored.
