Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux Kernel versions prior to v5.19.12
Description
The issue is related to a potential security vulnerability in the bnxt driver, where a skb UAF (use-after-free) can occur after handing over to the PTP worker. The actual impact and attack plausibility have not yet been proven.
Recommendations
For Linux Kernel versions prior to v5.19.12, update to version v5.19.12 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the bnxt driver to minimize the risk of exploitation.
