Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-af: Add validation before accessing cgx and lmac
with the addition of new MAC blocks like CN10K RPM and CN10KB
RPM_USX, LMACs are noncontiguous and CGX blocks are also
noncontiguous. But during RVU driver initialization, the driver
is assuming they are contiguous and trying to access
cgx or lmac with their id which is resulting in kernel panic.
This patch fixes the issue by adding proper checks.

A bounds-checking error was found in the Linux kernel Marvell OcteonTX2 network driver's initialization code. On systems with newer CN10K RPM or CN10KB RPM_USX hardware, a local user with privileges to initialize the driver can trigger driver probe, causing the driver to make incorrect assumptions about hardware topology and access Coherent Global Interconnect eXchange blocks and Logical MAC interfaces using invalid array indices, which leads to out-of-bounds memory access and denial of service through kernel panic.
Отчет
The driver assumed contiguous CGX/LMAC IDs, so reads/writes to disabled or non-existent LMAC registers could occur during RVU init, leading to a kernel panic.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the octeontx2_af module from loading. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions on blacklisting kernel modules.
