Subject: CVE-2024-42073: mlxsw: spectrum_buffers: Fix memory corruptions on Spectrum-4 systems

Description
===========

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

mlxsw: spectrum_buffers: Fix memory corruptions on Spectrum-4 systems

The following two shared buffer operations make use of the Shared Buffer
Status Register (SBSR):

 # devlink sb occupancy snapshot pci/0000:01:00.0
 # devlink sb occupancy clearmax pci/0000:01:00.0

The register has two masks of 256 bits to denote on which ingress /
egress ports the register should operate on. Spectrum-4 has more than
256 ports, so the register was extended by cited commit with a new
'port_page' field.

However, when filling the register's payload, the driver specifies the
ports as absolute numbers and not relative to the first port of the port
page, resulting in memory corruptions [1].

Fix by specifying the ports relative to the first port of the port page.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
