CVE-2025-68790

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/mlx5: Fix double unregister of HCA_PORTS component

Clear hca_devcom_comp in device's private data after unregistering it in
LAG teardown. Otherwise a slightly lagging second pass through
mlx5_unload_one() might try to unregister it again and trip over
use-after-free.

On s390 almost all PCI level recovery events trigger two passes through
mxl5_unload_one() - one through the poll_health() method and one through
mlx5_pci_err_detected() as callback from generic PCI error recovery.
While testing PCI error recovery paths with more kernel debug features
enabled, this issue reproducibly led to kernel panics with the following
call chain:

 Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space
 Failing address: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6000 TEID: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6803 ESOP-2 FSI
 Fault in home space mode while using kernel ASCE.
