Enabling the protocol on multiple bridges therefore inserts the\nsame node into multiple lists. Unregistering it on one bridge then\ncorrupts list state belonging to another.\n\nThese handlers can only be installed once per bridge, and they are\nuncommon. Track their per-bridge enable state with net_bridge option\nbits, which already live on the Rx hot cache line, and dispatch the\nmatching handler directly from the receive path. Check both bits\ntogether first as an unlikely case.\n\nRemove the generic frame_type_list and br_frame_type helpers, which\nhave had no other users since CFM and MRP were added. That shrinks\nstruct net_bridge by 8 bytes and drops the list walk from the fast\npath. When neither protocol is compiled in, BR_CFM_MRP_OPTS is 0 and\nthe compiler prunes the branch.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
