Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: Skip redundant detach on already-detached port
When mana_per_port_queue_reset_work_handler() runs after a previous
detach succeeded but attach failed, the port is left in a detached
state with apc->tx_qp and apc->rxqs already freed. Calling
mana_detach() again unconditionally leads to NULL pointer dereferences
during queue teardown.
Add an early exit in mana_detach() when the port is already in
detached state (!netif_device_present) for non-close callers, making
it safe to call idempotently. This allows the queue reset handler and
other recovery paths to simply retry mana_attach() without redundant
teardown.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.18.33 < 6.18.35)
• linux linux kernel (>= 7.0 < 7.0.12)
• linux linux kernel 7.1
