In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Octeontx2-af: Add proper checks for fwdata
firmware populates MAC address, link modes (supported, advertised)
and EEPROM data in shared firmware structure which kernel access
via MAC block(CGX/RPM).
Accessing fwdata, on boards booted with out MAC block leading to
kernel panics.
