| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's net/mlx5e driver. A race condition exists between disabling Dynamic Interrupt Moderation (DIM) and New API (NAPI) callbacks. This timing issue can lead to a NULL pointer dereference, which results in a kernel panic and a system crash, causing a Denial of Service (DoS). A local attacker with low privileges could potentially exploit this vulnerability.
