Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
bnxt_en: fix OOB access in DBG_BUF_PRODUCER async event handler<br />
<br />
The ASYNC_EVENT_CMPL_EVENT_ID_DBG_BUF_PRODUCER handler in<br />
bnxt_async_event_process() uses a firmware-supplied &#39;type&#39; field<br />
directly as an index into bp->bs_trace[] without bounds validation.<br />
<br />
The &#39;type&#39; field is a 16-bit value extracted from DMA-mapped completion<br />
ring memory that the NIC writes directly to host RAM. A malicious or<br />
compromised NIC can supply any value from 0 to 65535, causing an<br />
out-of-bounds access into kernel heap memory.<br />
<br />
The bnxt_bs_trace_check_wrap() call then dereferences bs_trace->magic_byte<br />
and writes to bs_trace->last_offset and bs_trace->wrapped, leading to<br />
kernel memory corruption or a crash.<br />
<br />
Fix by adding a bounds check and defining BNXT_TRACE_MAX as<br />
DBG_LOG_BUFFER_FLUSH_REQ_TYPE_ERR_QPC_TRACE + 1 to cover all currently<br />
defined firmware trace types (0x0 through 0xc).
