Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mlx5 driver. During a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) resynchronization operation, socket buffers (SKBs) were not properly freed, leading to a memory leak. Additionally, an error in the mlx5e_skb_fifo_has_room() function's counter check could cause further resource leaks. A local attacker with low privileges could exploit these memory and resource leaks to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
