Technical description

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

RDMA/bnxt_re: Fix max SGEs for the Work Request

Gen P7 supports up to 13 SGEs for now. WQE software structure

can hold only 6 now. Since the max send sge is reported as

13, the stack can give requests up to 13 SGEs. This is causing

traffic failures and system crashes.

Use the define for max SGE supported for variable size. This

will work for both static and variable WQEs.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
