Summary

In the Linux kernel, the bnxt_en driver has a vulnerability causing data corruption. When EOP (end of frame padding) is enabled on the AGG ring, zero padding may overlap with the next segment's data, especially with Relaxed Ordering (RO) enabled. On older chips (P5 and older), RO is not automatically disabled, potentially overwriting valid data.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves possible corruption of data transmitted over the network interface, which could lead to application errors or loss of data integrity.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that always disables EOP on AGG rings when TPA is enabled.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bnxt_en: Disable EOP for TPA on all chips to prevent data corruption EOP (End of frame padding) on the AGG ring may cause overlapping of zero padding at the end of one segment with the next segment's data. If Relaxed Ordering (RO) is enabled, the zero padding may overwrite valid data in the next segment and corrupt the data. Older chips (P5 and older) do not automatically disable RO when EOP is enabled. On some ARM systems, data corruption was reported on 57508 (P5) chips with RO enabled. Always disable EOP on all chips on the AGG rings when TPA is enabled to fix the data corruption.
