In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix handling of wrong devices during bond netevent
Current implementation of bond netevent handler only check if the handled netdev is VF representor and it missing a check if the VF representor is on the same phys device of the bond handling the netevent.
Fix by adding the missing check and optimizing the check if the netdev is VF representor so it will not access uninitialized private data and crashes.
