linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Fix receive ring space parameters when XDP is active
The MTU setting at the time an XDP multi-buffer is attached
determines whether the aggregation ring will be used and the
rx_skb_func handler. This is done in bnxt_set_rx_skb_mode().
If the MTU is later changed, the aggregation ring setting may need
to be changed and it may become out-of-sync with the settings
initially done in bnxt_set_rx_skb_mode(). This may result in
random memory corruption and crashes as the HW may DMA data larger
than the allocated buffer size, such as:
