Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2025 13:42:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2025100101-CVE-2022-50441-e2e2@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Lag, fix failure to cancel delayed bond work
Commit 0d4e8ed139d8 ("net/mlx5: Lag, avoid lockdep warnings")
accidentally removed a call to cancel delayed bond work thus it may
cause queued delay to expire and fall on an already destroyed work
queue.
Fix by restoring the call cancel_delayed_work_sync() before
destroying the workqueue.
This prevents call trace such as this:

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
