Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Fix null pointer dereference in bnxt_bs_trace_check_wrap()
With older FW, we may get the ASYNC_EVENT_CMPL_EVENT_ID_DBG_BUF_PRODUCER
for FW trace data type that has not been initialized. This will result
in a crash in bnxt_bs_trace_type_wrap(). Add a guard to check for a
valid magic_byte pointer before proceeding.
A flaw was identified in the Broadcom NetXtreme-E (bnxt_en) networking driver in the Linux kernel involving improper handling of uninitialized firmware trace event data. Certain firmware versions may report an ASYNC_EVENT_CMPL_EVENT_ID_DBG_BUF_PRODUCER event type without having initialized the corresponding trace buffer pointer (magic_byte). When the driver attempts to process this event in the bnxt_bs_trace_type_wrap() function, it may dereference a NULL or invalid pointer, leading to a kernel crash (NULL pointer dereference).
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
