Vulnerability Details : CVE-2021-47015
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:
#0 [ffff9bbcdf5c39a8] machine_kexec at ffffffff9b05e007
#1 [ffff9bbcdf5c3a00] __crash_kexec at ffffffff9b111232
