Subject: [PATCH net 2/3] net/mlx5: HWS, Fix heap buffer overflow in insert header action
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 10:49:48 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021074949.3471704-3-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261021074949.3471704-1-tariqt@nvidia.com>
From: Yevgeny Kliteynik <kliteyn@nvidia.com>
hws_action_create_generic() allocates only a single action struct,
but the loop writes to action[i] for each of the num_of_hdrs entries.
When num_of_hdrs > 1 this overflows the allocated buffer.
Use hws_action_create_generic_bulk() to allocate the right number
of actions.
Fixes: 504e536d9010 ("net/mlx5: HWS, added actions handling")
