Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bnxt_en : Fix memory out-of-bounds in bnxt_fill_hw_rss_tbl() A recent commit has modified the code in __bnxt_reserve_rings() to set the default RSS indirection table to default only when the number of RX rings is changing. While this works for newer firmware that requires RX ring reservations, it causes the regression on older firmware not requiring RX ring resrvations (BNXT_NEW_RM() returns false). With older firmware, RX ring reservations are not required and so hw_resc->resv_rx_rings is not always set to the proper value. The comparison: if (old_rx_rings != bp->hw_resc.resv_rx_rings) in __bnxt_reserve_rings() may be false even when the RX rings are changing. This will cause __bnxt_reserve_rings() to skip setting
