CVE-2026-43199

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.5)—

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

net/mlx5e: Fix "scheduling while atomic" in IPsec MAC address query

Fix a "scheduling while atomic" bug in mlx5e_ipsec_init_macs() by replacing mlx5_query_mac_address() with ether_addr_copy() to get the local MAC address directly from netdev->dev_addr.

The issue occurs because mlx5_query_mac_address() queries the hardware which involves mlx5_cmd_exec() that can sleep, but it is called from the mlx5e_ipsec_handle_event workqueue which runs in atomic context.

The MAC address is already available in netdev->dev_addr, so no need to query hardware. This avoids the sleeping call and resolves the bug.
