CVE-2026-53230

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

net/mlx5: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in mlx5_query_nic_vport_mac_list

mlx5_query_nic_vport_mac_list() sizes its firmware command buffer using
the PF's log_max_current_uc/mc_list capabilities. When querying a VF
vport with a larger configured max (via devlink), the firmware response
can overflow this buffer:

Fix by querying the vport's own HCA caps to size the buffer correctly.
Refactor the function to allocate and return the MAC list internally,
removing the caller's dependency on knowing the correct max.
