Description

A memory leak in the mlx5_fpga_conn_create_cq() function in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/fpga/conn.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering mlx5_vector2eqn() failures, aka CID-c8c2a057fdc7.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The Mellanox Technologies Innova driver mishandles resource cleanup on error. An attacker, able to trigger error could use this flaw to crash the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
