Vulnerability Title
net/mlx5e: TC, delete flows only for existing peers
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
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 is limited to devices the driver is currently connected to.
