Use of Uninitialized Resource Affecting kernel-64k-modules-extra package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-modules-extra package and not the kernel-64k-modules-extra package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vdpa/mlx5: Fix invalid mr resource destroy

Certain error paths from mlx5_vdpa_dev_add() can end up releasing mr resources which never got initialized in the first place.

This patch adds the missing check in mlx5_vdpa_destroy_mr_resources() to block releasing non-initialized mr resources.
