About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: fix a double-free in arfs_create_groups
When in allocated by kvzalloc fails, arfs_create_groups will free
ft->g and return an error. However, arfs_create_table, the only caller of
arfs_create_groups, will hold this error and call to
mlx5e_destroy_flow_table, in which the ft->g will be freed again.
