Description

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

net: marvell: prestera: fix port event handling on init

For some reason there might be a crash during ports creation if port
events are handling at the same time because fw may send initial
port event with down state.

The crash points to cancel_delayed_work() which is called when port went
is down. Currently I did not find out the real cause of the issue, so
fixed it by cancel port stats work only if previous port's state was up
& runnig.

The following is the crash which can be triggered:

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
