In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-pf: Fix aura BPID assignment when CONFIG_DCB is enabled
Previously, BPID assignment under CONFIG_DCB assumed
queue_to_pfc_map was always initialized. For SDP VFs this leads to
invalid memory access as it was not initialized.
This patch adds a NULL check for queue_to_pfc_map before
dereferencing it. Also, simplifies the logic by always assigning a
default BPID first, then conditionally overriding it if CONFIG_DCB is
enabled and the map exists.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's octeontx2-pf network driver. When Data Center Bridging (DCB) is enabled, the driver assumes traffic queue mapping structures are always initialized, which is not the case for System Data Path (SDP) virtual functions. This issue leads to a NULL pointer dereference during backpressure identifier assignment, allowing a local user to crash the system and cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via an invalid memory access.
