Official Description

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

net/mlx5: Fix crash when moving to switchdev mode

When moving to switchdev mode when the device doesn't support IPsec,

we try to clean up the IPsec resources anyway which causes the crash

below, fix that by correctly checking for IPsec support before trying

to clean up its resources.
