AZL-77742 CVE-2026-23173 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.126.1-1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: TC, delete flows only for existing peers When deleting TC steering flows, iterate only over actual devcom peers instead of assuming all possible ports exist. This avoids touching non-existent peers and ensures cleanup ...

CVE-2026-23173

CVE-2026-23173 affects the Linux kernel mlx5e driver (TC flow offload). The issue arises when deleting TC steering flows: the code previously iterated over all possible ports, potentially touching non-existent peers and risking a NULL pointer dereference. The fix ensures cleanup only occurs for d...
