>>From the crash dump, we found that the cpu_map_flush_list inside
redirect info is partially corrupted: its list_head->next points to
itself, but list_head->prev points to a valid list of unflushed bq
entries.
This turned out to be a result of missed XDP flush on redirect lists. By
digging in the actual source code, we found that
commit 7f0a168b0441 ("bnxt_en: Add completion ring pointer in TX and RX
ring structures") incorrectly overwrites the event mask for XDP_REDIRECT
in bnxt_rx_xdp. We can stably reproduce this crash by returning XDP_TX
and XDP_REDIRECT randomly for incoming packets in a naive XDP program.
Properly propagate the XDP_REDIRECT events back fixes the crash.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-38246 to this issue.

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:
https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c6665b8f0f58082c480ed8627029f44d046ef2c8
