CVE-2026-74395
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix devx subscribe-event unwind NULL dereference
MLX5_IB_METHOD_DEVX_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT() links event_sub into sub_list
before initializing the fields used by the shared error path.
If eventfd_ctx_fdget() then fails, the unwind path dereferences
event_sub->ev_file in uverbs_uobject_put() and calls
subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() with an unset xa_key_level1.
subscribe_event_xa_alloc() creates the XA entry exactly once for a given
key_level1, on the first occurrence of that key. The unwind path must
therefore call subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() exactly once for it as well.
Enforce that by adding devx_key_in_sub_list() and calling
subscribe_event_xa_dealloc() only when the last matching pending entry is
being cleaned up.
