Threats tagged 'ghsa-fg85-697p-x487'

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's bnxt_en driver was resolved that involved improper handling of buffer allocation failures in the bnxt_rx_ring_reset() function. The function failed to properly propagate allocation errors, leading to potential use of uninitialized DMA addresses when re-enabling TPA (TCP Packet Aggregation). This could cause severe impacts including confidentiality, integrity, and availability issues. The vulnerability affects specific linux-hwe-edge versions and has a CVSS score of 8.1.
