CVE-2024-42138 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's mlxsw driver. It involves a double memory deallocation issue triggered by an invalid INI file. The flaw occurs because the pointer is not reset to NULL after the first deallocation, leading to a second deallocation on error paths. This can cause memory corruption with potential impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
