In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum_flower: Fix port range register leak in tmplt_create()
mlxsw_sp_flower_tmplt_create() parses a flow_cls_offload template
into a stack-local struct mlxsw_sp_acl_rule_info purely to compute
rulei.values.elusage. Parsing can acquire port range registers via
mlxsw_sp_flower_parse_ports_range(), but since this rulei never goes
through mlxsw_sp_acl_rulei_destroy(), those registers were never
released, including through chain template deletion.
Factor out of mlxsw_sp_acl_rulei_destroy() the code to actually
release the necessary resources and call from
mlxsw_sp_flower_tmplt_create() to plug the leak.
The issue was found during a review of Wentao Liang's patch referenced
below.
