CVE-2024-44933 is a memory out-of-bounds vulnerability in the Linux kernel's bnxt_en network driver, specifically within the bnxt_fill_hw_rss_tbl() function. This flaw arises when using older firmware versions that do not require RX ring reservations, leading to incorrect handling of the RSS indirection table during RX ring changes. A local attacker with low privileges can exploit this to cause a denial of service (system crash) due to a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds error. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.5 (Medium) and is not currently listed on the CISA KEV catalog, nor is there any known exploit intelligence or significant community discussion surrounding it.
