Doc Text:	CVE-2024-35907 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's mlxbf_gige driver, which supports Mellanox BlueField devices. The issue occurs during kdump operations when a receive (RX) interrupt is triggered before the driver fully initializes. This leads to a race condition that can result in a NULL pointer dereference, causing the system to crash. A pending RX interrupt before the driver requests the IRQ can lead to an improper sequence of operations, resulting in the crash. This flaw affects system stability during kdump operations, potentially causing kernel panics.	Story Points:	---

Comment 5 Alex 2024-06-09 16:11:03 UTC

The result of automatic check (that is developed by Alexander Larkin) for this CVE-2024-35907 is: CHECK	Maybe valid. Check manually. with impact MODERATE (that is an approximation based on flags REMOTE DANGER NULLPTR INIT NETWORK  ; these flags parsed automatically based on patch data). Such automatic check happens only for Low/Moderates (and only when not from reporter, but parsing already existing CVE). Highs always checked manually (I check it myself and then we check it again in Remediation team). In rare cases some of the Moderates could be increased to High later.
