The real issue is that the features will randomly\ncome back during another reconfiguration which just happens to invoke\nnetdev_update_features(). The driver doesn't handle reconfiguring\ntwo things at a time very robustly.\n\nStarting with commit 98ba1d931f61 (\"bnxt_en: Fix RSS logic in\n__bnxt_reserve_rings()\") we only reconfigure the RSS hash table\nif the \"effective\" number of Rx rings has changed. If HW-GRO is\nenabled \"effective\" number of rings is 2x what user sees.\nSo if we are in the bad state, with HW-GRO re-enablement \"pending\"\nafter XDP off, and we lower the rings by / 2 - the HW-GRO rings\ndoing 2x and the ethtool -L doing / 2 may cancel each other out,\nand the:\n\n if (old_rx_rings != bp->hw_resc.resv_rx_rings &&\n\ncondition in __bnxt_reserve_rings() will be false.\nThe RSS map won't get updated, and we'll crash with:\n\n BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000168\n RIP: 0010:__bnxt_hwrm_vnic_set_rss+0x13a/0x1a0\n bnxt_hwrm_vnic_rss_cfg_p5+0x47/0x180\n __bnxt_setup_vnic_p5+0x58/0x110\n bnxt_init_nic+0xb72/0xf50\n __bnxt_open_nic+0x40d/0xab0\n bnxt_open_nic+0x2b/0x60\n ethtool_set_channels+0x18c/0x1d0\n\nAs we try to access a freed ring.\n\nThe issue is present since XDP support was added, really, but\nprior to commit 98ba1d931f61 (\"bnxt_en: Fix RSS logic in\n__bnxt_reserve_rings()\") it wasn't causing major issues."}], "metrics": [{"cvssV3_1": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:H", "baseScore": 7.3, "baseSeverity": "HIGH"}, "scenarios": [{"lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The bug is reached only through local device-configuration interfaces \u2014 RTM_SETLINK for XDP attach/detach and the ethtool set_channels ioctl/netlink call on a bnxt netdev.

Every input is attacker-chosen, there is no race and no memory-layout condition outside the attacker's influence.\nPR:L - Both entry points check ns_capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN), which is namespace-scoped rather than requiring real root in the init namespace, so a container or namespace-confined user holding a delegated bnxt netdev (such as an SR-IOV VF) can drive the full sequence.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the XDP attach, XDP detach and channel-count change entirely on its own; no other user or administrator action is needed at any point.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds access and resulting crash are confined to the kernel's own memory and the driver's hardware configuration, within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - bnxt_fill_hw_rss_tbl_p5() indexes bp->rx_ring with stale RSS indices past the end of the newly kcalloc'd array, reading adjacent heap objects and then dereferencing an rx_cpr pointer taken from that out-of-bounds memory, which with heap grooming becomes an attacker-influenced arbitrary-address read.\nI:L - There is no out-of-bounds write, but garbage ring IDs harvested from the out-of-bounds read are programmed into the NIC's RSS indirection table, corrupting hardware receive steering \u2014 a bounded but real modification of state.\nA:H - The dereference of the NULL/wild rx_cpr pointer oopses inside __bnxt_open_nic() while holding rtnl_lock, taking down the network device and typically panicking or wedging the machine."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux",

The bug is reached only through local device-configuration interfaces \u2014 RTM_SETLINK for XDP attach/detach and the ethtool set_channels ioctl/netlink call on a bnxt netdev. No remote peer input reaches this code.\nAC:L - The commit gives a deterministic recipe: attach XDP, detach XDP, then halve the ring count so the pending HW-GRO 2x cancels the /2 and the RSS map refresh is skipped. Every input is attacker-chosen, there is no race and no memory-layout condition outside the attacker's influence.\nPR:L - Both entry points check ns_capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN), which is namespace-scoped rather than requiring real root in the init namespace, so a container or namespace-confined user holding a delegated bnxt netdev (such as an SR-IOV VF) can drive the full sequence.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the XDP attach, XDP detach and channel-count change entirely on its own; no other user or administrator action is needed at any point.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds access and resulting crash are confined to the kernel's own memory and the driver's hardware configuration, within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - bnxt_fill_hw_rss_tbl_p5() indexes bp->rx_ring with stale RSS indices past the end of the newly kcalloc'd array, reading adjacent heap objects and then dereferencing an rx_cpr pointer taken from that out-of-bounds memory, which with heap grooming becomes an attacker-influenced arbitrary-address read.\nI:L - There is no out-of-bounds write, but garbage ring IDs harvested from the out-of-bounds read are programmed into the NIC's RSS indirection table, corrupting hardware receive steering \u2014 a bounded but real modification of state.\nA:H - The dereference of the NULL/wild rx_cpr pointer oopses inside __bnxt_open_nic() while holding rtnl_lock, taking down the network device and typically panicking or wedging the machine."}]}], "affected": [{"repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "versions": [{"status": "affected", "version": "1054aee82321483dceabbb9b9e5d6512e8fe684b", "lessThan": "076a694a42ae3f0466bc6e4126050eeb7b7d299a", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "1054aee82321483dceabbb9b9e5d6512e8fe684b", "lessThan": "90336fc3d6f5e716ac39a9ddbbde453e23a5aa65", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "1054aee82321483dceabbb9b9e5d6512e8fe684b", "lessThan": "08831a894d18abfaabb5bbde7c2069a7fb41dd93", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "1054aee82321483dceabbb9b9e5d6512e8fe684b", "lessThan": "f0aa6a37a3dbb40b272df5fc6db93c114688adcd", "versionType": "git"}], "programFiles": ["drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c", "drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.h", "drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_xdp.c"], "defaultStatus": "unaffected"}, {"repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "versions": [{"status": "affected", "version": "4.16"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "0", "lessThan": "4.16", "versionType": "semver"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "6.1.167", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "6.6.130", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "6.12.11", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "6.13", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*"}], "programFiles": ["drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c", "drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.h", "drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_xdp.c"], "defaultStatus": "affected"}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/076a694a42ae3f0466bc6e4126050eeb7b7d299a"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/90336fc3d6f5e716ac39a9ddbbde453e23a5aa65"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/08831a894d18abfaabb5bbde7c2069a7fb41dd93"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f0aa6a37a3dbb40b272df5fc6db93c114688adcd"}], "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}, "descriptions": [{"lang": "en", "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\neth: bnxt: always recalculate features after XDP clearing, fix null-deref\n\nRecalculate features when XDP is detached.\n\nBefore:\n # ip li set dev eth0 xdp obj xdp_dummy.bpf.o sec xdp\n # ip li set dev eth0 xdp off\n # ethtool -k eth0 | grep gro\n rx-gro-hw: off [requested on]\n\nAfter:\n # ip li set dev eth0 xdp obj xdp_dummy.bpf.o sec xdp\n # ip li set dev eth0 xdp off\n # ethtool -k eth0 | grep gro\n rx-gro-hw: on\n\nThe fact that HW-GRO doesn't get re-enabled automatically is just\na minor annoyance.
