Description

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

ethernet: hisilicon: hns: hns_dsaf_misc: fix a possible array overflow in hns_dsaf_ge_srst_by_port()

The if statement: if (port >= DSAF_GE_NUM) return;

limits the value of port less than DSAF_GE_NUM (i.e., 8). However, if the value of port is 6 or 7, an array overflow could occur: port_rst_off = dsaf_dev->mac_cb[port]->port_rst_off;

because the length of dsaf_dev->mac_cb is DSAF_MAX_PORT_NUM (i.e., 6).

To fix this possible array overflow, we first check port and if it is greater than or equal to DSAF_MAX_PORT_NUM, the function returns.
