CVE-2022-50498

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

eth: alx: take rtnl_lock on resume

Zbynek reports that alx trips an rtnl assertion on resume:

RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/dev.c (2891)
RIP: 0010:netif_set_real_num_tx_queues+0x1ac/0x1c0
Call Trace:

indeed the driver does not hold rtnl_lock during its internal close
and re-open functions during suspend/resume. Note that this is not
a huge bug as the driver implements its own locking, and does not
implement changing the number of queues, but we need to silence
the splat.
