CVE-2026-72344
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: TC, skip peer flow cleanup when LAG seq is unavailable mlx5_lag_get_dev_seq() will return error when the peer isn't in the LAG or when no device is marked as master.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.17%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: TC, skip peer flow cleanup when LAG seq is unavailable mlx5_lag_get_dev_seq() will return error when the peer isn't in the LAG or when no device is marked as master. Result bad memory access and kernel crash[1]. Hence, skip the peer when lookup fails. Note: In case there are peer flows, they are cleaned before LAG cleared the master mark.
