SUSE: CVE-2025-38109: SUSE Linux Security Advisory

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

net/mlx5: Fix ECVF vports unload on shutdown flow

Fix shutdown flow UAF when a virtual function is created on the embedded
chip (ECVF) of a BlueField device. In such case the vport acl ingress
table is not properly destroyed.

ECVF functionality is independent of ecpf_vport_exists capability and
thus functions mlx5_eswitch_(enable|disable)_pf_vf_vports() should not
test it when enabling/disabling ECVF vports.
