LIN1019-11192 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2021-47015

Created: Feb 28, 2024    Updated: Mar 26, 2024
Resolved Date: Mar 26, 2024
Found In Version: 10.19.45.1
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 19
Component/s: Kernel

Description

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

bnxt_en: Fix RX consumer index logic in the error path.

In bnxt_rx_pkt(), the RX buffers are expected to complete in order.
If the RX consumer index indicates an out of order buffer completion,
it means we are hitting a hardware bug and the driver will abort all
remaining RX packets and reset the RX ring.  The RX consumer index
that we pass to bnxt_discard_rx() is not correct.  We should be
passing the current index (tmp_raw_cons) instead of the old index
(raw_cons).  This bug can cause us to be at the wrong index when
trying to abort the next RX packet.  It can crash like this:
