Improper resource allocation In linux

Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mlx5e network driver. A local user can exploit this vulnerability by repeatedly attempting to change the network profile, such as enabling switchdev mode, after an initial failure to apply or roll back the profile. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference, causing the system to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
