kernel: mlxsw: spectrum: Protect driver from buggy firmware

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's mlxsw spectrum driver, where processing port up/down events leads to a NULL pointer dereference. This issue occurs when the driver fails to handle events for the CPU port, which exists but lacks a corresponding network device, resulting in system...

CVE-2021-47560

The CVE-2021-47560 issue affects the Linux kernel mlxsw: spectrum driver. When processing port up/down events from device firmware, the driver failed to bail out for CPU port 0 (local port 0), which exists but lacks a netdev, risking a NULL pointer dereference on netif_carrier_{on,off}(). The emb...
