Summary

In the Linux kernel, the bnxt_en driver incorrectly masks the bd_cnt field in TX BD, potentially corrupting TX BD and causing TX timeout. Added a macro for proper masking.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability may cause network outages due to transmission timeouts, affecting the availability of network services.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that adds proper masking of the bd_cnt field in the bnxt_en driver.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bnxt_en: Mask the bd_cnt field in the TX BD properly The bd_cnt field in the TX BD specifies the total number of BDs for the TX packet. The bd_cnt field has 5 bits and the maximum number supported is 32 with the value 0. CONFIG_MAX_SKB_FRAGS can be modified and the total number of SKB fragments can approach or exceed the maximum supported by the chip. Add a macro to properly mask the bd_cnt field so that the value 32 will be properly masked and set to 0 in the bd_cnd field. Without this patch, the out-of-range bd_cnt value will corrupt the TX BD and may cause TX timeout. The next patch will check for values exceeding 32.
