Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-pf: Fix SQE threshold checking
Current way of checking available SQE count which is based on
HW updated SQB count could result in driver submitting an SQE
even before CQE for the previously transmitted SQE at the same
index is processed in NAPI resulting losing SKB pointers,
hence a leak. Fix this by checking a consumer index which
is updated once CQE is processed.
