Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: fix OOB access in DBG_BUF_PRODUCER async event handler
The ASYNC_EVENT_CMPL_EVENT_ID_DBG_BUF_PRODUCER handler in
bnxt_async_event_process() uses a firmware-supplied 'type' field
directly as an index into bp->bs_trace[] without bounds validation.
The 'type' field is a 16-bit value extracted from DMA-mapped completion
ring memory that the NIC writes directly to host RAM. A malicious or
compromised NIC can supply any value from 0 to 65535, causing an
out-of-bounds access into kernel heap memory.
The bnxt_bs_trace_check_wrap() call then dereferences bs_trace->magic_byte
and writes to bs_trace->last_offset and bs_trace->wrapped, leading to
kernel memory corruption or a crash.
Fix by adding a bounds check and defining BNXT_TRACE_MAX as
DBG_LOG_BUFFER_FLUSH_REQ_TYPE_ERR_QPC_TRACE + 1 to cover all currently
defined firmware trace types (0x0 through 0xc).
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.20)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.10)
• linux linux kernel 7.0
