CVE-2024-50209

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.61

Description: A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved, specifically in the RDMA/bnxt re module. The issue involved the alloc pbl() function, which can return an error when memory allocation fails, but the driver was not checking the status in one of the instances.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 6.6.61, update to version 6.6.61 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the RDMA/bnxt re module until the update is applied.
