Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Linux kernel是美国Linux基金会开源的一个操作系统内核。 Linux kernel 5.14版本存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于sparx5_register_notifier_blocks()函数在分配有序工作队列之前注册switchdev阻塞通知器，当工作队列分配失败时，错误路径未注销该阻塞通知器，可能导致通知器注册泄漏。

Vulnerability Title
net: sparx5: unregister blocking notifier on init failure
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: sparx5: unregister blocking notifier on init failure sparx5_register_notifier_blocks() registers the switchdev blocking notifier before allocating the ordered workqueue. If the workqueue allocation fails, the error path unregisters the switchdev and netdevice notifiers, but leaves the blocking notifier registered. Add a separate error label for the workqueue allocation failure path and unregister the switchdev blocking notifier there.
