Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2023-52667
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to a potential double-free in the `fs any create groups` function. When `kcalloc()` for `ft->g` succeeds but `kvzalloc()` for `in` fails, `fs any create groups()` will free `ft->g`. However, its caller `fs any create table()` will free `ft->g` again through calling `mlx5e destroy flow table()`, which will lead to a double-free. This can be fixed by setting `ft->g` to `NULL` in `fs any create groups()`. The vulnerability may allow an attacker to cause a denial of service.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
