UTSA-2025-993221 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    bridge: switchdev: Fix memory leaks when changing VLAN protocol

    The bridge driver can offload VLANs to the underlying hardware either
    via switchdev or the 8021q driver. When the former is used, the VLAN is
    marked in the bridge driver with the 'BR_VLFLAG_ADDED_BY_SWITCHDEV'
    private flag.

    To avoid the memory leaks mentioned in the cited commit, the bridge
    driver will try to delete a VLAN via the 8021q driver if the VLAN is not
    marked with the previously mentioned flag.

    When the VLAN protocol of the bridge changes, switchdev drivers are
    notified via the 'SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_VLAN_PROTOCOL' attribute, but
    the 8021q driver is also called to add the existing VLANs with the new
    protocol and delete them with the old protocol.

    In case the VLANs were offloaded via switchdev, the above behavior is
    both redundant and buggy. Redundant because the VLANs are already
    programmed in hardware and drivers that support VLAN protocol change
    (currently only mlx5) change the protocol upon the switchdev attribute
    notification. Buggy because the 8021q driver is called despite these
    VLANs being marked with 'BR_VLFLAG_ADDED_BY_SWITCHDEV'. This leads to
    memory leaks [1] when the VLANs are deleted.

    Fix by not calling the 8021q driver for VLANs that were already
    programmed via switchdev.
