In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Fix RX consumer index logic in the error path. In bnxt_rx_pkt(),
the RX buffers are expected to complete in order. If the RX consumer index
indicates an out of order buffer completion, it means we are hitting a
hardware bug and the driver will abort all remaining RX packets and reset
the RX ring. The RX consumer index that we pass to bnxt_discard_rx() is not
correct. We should be passing the current index (tmp_raw_cons) instead of
the old index (raw_cons). This bug can cause us to be at the wrong index
when trying to abort the next RX packet. It can crash like this: #0
