In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix eswitch mode block underflow on IPsec acquire SA
mlx5exfrmadd_state() handles acquire-flow temporary SAs by allocating software state and skipping hardware offload setup.
That path jumps to the common success label before taking the eswitch mode block. After tunnel-mode validation was moved earlier, the common success label unconditionally calls mlx5eswitchunblockmode(). For acquire SAs, this decrements esw->offloads.numblock_mode without a matching increment.
Return directly after installing the acquire SA offload handle, so only the paths that successfully called mlx5eswitchblock_mode() call the matching unblock.
