CVE-2024-26586 is a stack-based memory-corruption vulnerability in the Linux kernel Mellanox Spectrum Ethernet switch driver, specifically its Spectrum ACL TCAM handling. When traffic-control filters are added, the driver associates ACL regions with a port ACL group and programs the group through the PAGT register. On Spectrum-2 and newer ASICs, firmware can report support for more than 16 ACLs per group, while the PAGT register layout accommodates only 16 entries. Creating filter rules that require more than 16 ACL regions in one group can cause mlxsw_sp_acl_tcam_group_update() to overrun stack-backed storage, resulting in kernel stack corruption.
