What it is

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 [ffff9bbcdf5c39a8] machine_kexec at ffffffff9b05e007

#1 [ffff9bbcdf5c3a00] __crash_kexec at ffffffff9b111232
