Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Array Index in the bnxt_hwrm_func_backing_store_qcaps_v2 process. An attacker can cause memory corruption or potentially execute arbitrary code by manipulating the resp->type value to influence array indexing operations.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
