CVE-2024-38556

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Add a timeout to acquire the command queue semaphore Prevent
forced completion handling on an entry that has not yet been assigned an
index, causing an out of bounds access on idx = -22. Instead of waiting
indefinitely for the sem, blocking flow now waits for index to be allocated
or a sem acquisition timeout before beginning the timer for FW completion.
Kernel log example: mlx5_core 0000:06:00.0:
wait_func_handle_exec_timeout:1128:(pid 185911): cmd[-22]:
CREATE_UCTX(0xa04) No done completion
