Description

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

RDMA/bnxt_re: Fix out of bound check

Driver exports pacing stats only on GenP5 and P7 adapters. But while
parsing the pacing stats, driver has a check for "rdev->dbr_pacing". This
caused a trace when KASAN is enabled.

Write of size 8 at addr ffff8885942a6340 by task modprobe/4809
