CVE-2026-97570

Estado: RecibidaAlta (8.1)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bnxt_en: Bound SW TPA IDs to prevent crashes

FW supports up to 1024 concurrent TPAs, so the FW TPA ID is in the range 0..1023 (see commit ec4d8e7cf024 ("bnxt_en: Add TPA ID mapping logic for 57500 chips.")). bnxt_alloc_agg_idx is intended to wrap the FW ID down to a software ID which is used to index rxr->rx_tpa, and to generate a mapping between FW IDs and the wrapped software ID.

On a 57608 with firmware version 233, the firmware advertises 32 concurrent TPAs. As of the commit under fixes, bp->max_tpa on this NIC is set to 32.

If the software ID from bnxt_alloc_agg_idx is above 31, this results in an invalid address being loaded on this line:

because rx_tpa is allocated with only bp->max_tpa (32) entries. Writes to tpa_info later in the code are out of bounds.

This bug results in a crash at boot:

This stack trace is from a crash triggered when an out of bounds rx_tpa is dereferenced. The invalid write mentioned above is silent in this particular crash.

Fix this by allocating rx_tpa with bp->max_tpa rounded up to the next power of 2 (bp->max_tpa_roundup_size) entries and masking the FW TPA ID with that size, so the wrapped ID can never index past the end of the array.
