mlx5 vulnerability

About this tag
The mlx5 vulnerability tag covers discussions about CVE-2025-38161, a Linux kernel bug in the RDMA/mlx5 driver that mishandles object rollback when a firmware command fails during Receive Queue (RQ) destruction. Microsoft has published an attestation naming Azure Linux as a product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected. Azure Linux operators should act immediately, but the attestation does not mean Azure Linux is the only Microsoft product that could include the vulnerable mlx5 code. Enterprises should treat Azure Linux as a confirmed carrier while performing artifact verification and patching.
