Doc Text:
CVE-2024-35960 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Mellanox MLX5 driver that affects flow steering rule handling. When identical rules are created and referenced multiple times, they can fail to properly link into the rule tree, leaving them uninitialized. This can cause system crashes during rule deletion due to invalid references. The issue has been fixed by ensuring all newly created rules are properly initialized and linked. Updating to a patched kernel version resolves the problem and ensures system stability.
