A flaw was identified in the Linux kernel’s Mellanox mlx5 Ethernet driver (net/mlx5e) related to the cleanup order of neighbour information when handling offloaded IP tunnel encapsulation rules in ECMP (Equal-Cost Multipath) mode. In certain scenarios — such as unloading the eswitch device while an offloaded ECMP rule is still active — the representor neighbour data for the peer uplink may be cleaned up prematurely in the profile->disable callback before the intended profile->cleanup_tx callback. This premature cleanup can result in a use-after-free condition when subsequent code attempts to access the freed neighbour data, potentially leading to kernel faults
