Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5e/core/en_fs: fix pointer dereference after free in mlx5e_execute_l2_action
Date: Sat, 4 Nov 2017 22:54:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171105035453.GA10908@embeddedor.com> (raw)
hn is being kfree'd in mlx5e_del_l2_from_hash and then dereferenced
by accessing hn->ai.addr
Fix this by copying the MAC address into a local variable for its safe use
in all possible execution paths within function mlx5e_execute_l2_action.
Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1417789
Fixes: eeb66cdb6826 ("net/mlx5: Separate between E-Switch and MPFS")
