Details

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

bnxt_en: Fix receive ring space parameters when XDP is active

The MTU setting at the time an XDP multi-buffer is attached determines whether the aggregation ring will be used and the rx_skb_func handler. This is done in bnxt_set_rx_skb_mode().

If the MTU is later changed, the aggregation ring setting may need to be changed and it may become out-of-sync with the settings initially done in bnxt_set_rx_skb_mode(). This may result in random memory corruption and crashes as the HW may DMA data larger than the allocated buffer size, such as:

To address the issue, we now call bnxt_set_rx_skb_mode() within bnxt_change_mtu() to properly set the AGG rings configuration and update rx_skb_func based on the new MTU value. Additionally, BNXT_FLAG_NO_AGG_RINGS is cleared at the beginning of bnxt_set_rx_skb_mode() to make sure it gets set or cleared based on the current MTU.
