CVE-2023-52667 is a double-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel net/mlx5e driver’s fs_any_create_groups() error-handling path. When kcalloc() successfully allocates ft->g but a subsequent kvzalloc() allocation fails, fs_any_create_groups() frees ft->g. Its caller, fs_any_create_table(), can subsequently invoke mlx5e_destroy_flow_table(), which frees the same allocation again. The fix clears ft->g after the first free so subsequent cleanup does not release it twice.
