Linux bnxt_en driver (bnxt_fill_hw_rss_tbl): Memory out-of-bounds in the RSS indirection-table path of the Broadcom NIC
Impact
Memory out-of-bounds in the RSS indirection-table path of the Broadcom NIC driver, giving kernel panic, denial of service, or an information leak out of kernel memory. The information-leak arm is the one that matters for multi-tenancy — kernel memory on a shared host contains other workloads' data.
Who can reach it
Reachable through ring-reservation and RSS configuration paths in the driver; local host privilege or specific traffic conditions depending on the trigger.
What to do
Kernel/driver upgrade and host reboot. Rolling across the fleet during normal maintenance; no firmware flash needed.
