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

    net/mlx5e: Check for NOT_READY flag state after locking

    Currently the check for NOT_READY flag is performed before obtaining the
    necessary lock. This opens a possibility for race condition when the flow
    is concurrently removed from unready_flows list by the workqueue task,
    which causes a double-removal from the list and a crash[0]. Fix the issue
    by moving the flag check inside the section protected by
    uplink_priv->unready_flows_lock mutex.
