How to fix?

Upgrade Chainguard linux-desktop-7.2 to version 7.2.7-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-desktop-7.2 package and not the linux-desktop-7.2 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

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

net: bcmasp: fix tx_spb_ring_full() checking same slot cnt times

The loop initialised next_index from intf->tx_spb_index on every iteration, so incr_ring() always produced the same result and only one slot was ever tested. Move the initialisation before the loop so each iteration advances next_index and the function correctly checks that cnt consecutive descriptor slots are available before allowing a new transmission.
