In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix mlx5_ib_get_hw_stats when used for device
Currently, when mlx5_ib_get_hw_stats() is used for device (port_num = 0),
there is a special handling in order to use the correct counters, but,
port_num is being passed down the stack without any change. Also, some
functions assume that port_num >=1. As a result, the following oops can
occur.
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff89510294f1a8
#PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode

Fix it by setting port_num to 1 in order to get device status and remove
unused variable.
