CVE-2026-80629: octeontx2-af: npc: Fix size of entry2cntr_map

Q: Which deployments are indicated by the available report?

The report identifies the Linux kernel octeontx2-af NPC code path. The recorded failure occurred on a Marvell CN106XX board during device initialization.

Q: How can I identify this issue in kernel diagnostics?

Look for a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds write in npc_map_mcam_entry_and_cntr. The reported call trace includes rvu_mbox_handler_npc_mcam_write_entry, npc_install_flow, rvu_npc_install_cpt_pass2_entry, rvu_nix_init, and rvu_probe.

Q: Is a fix available?

The vulnerability is described as resolved, and three stable Linux kernel commit references are provided. The supplied data does not identify the kernel versions containing those fixes.

Updated

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

octeontx2-af: npc: Fix size of entry2cntrmap

KASAN prints below splat. This is caused by allocating counter for reserved mcam entry for cpt 2nd pass entry. But mcam->entry2cntrmap is not allocated for reserved entries.
