Description

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

vdpa/mlx5: Fix invalid mr resource destroy

Certain error paths from mlx5_vdpa_dev_add() can end up releasing mr
resources which never got initialized in the first place.

This patch adds the missing check in mlx5_vdpa_destroy_mr_resources()
to block releasing non-initialized mr resources.

Reference trace:

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
