CVE-2023-52782 (Low severity, published 2024-05-20)
CVSS score: 4.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CWE: CWE-476
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/mlx5e: Track xmit submission to PTP WQ after populating metadata map

Ensure the skb is available in metadata mapping to skbs before tracking the
metadata index for detecting undelivered CQEs. If the metadata index is put
in the tracking list before putting the skb in the map, the metadata index
might be used for detecting undelivered CQEs before the relevant skb is
available in the map, which can lead to a null-ptr-deref.

Log:
    general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000005: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN
    KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000028-0x000000000000002f]
