HIGH Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mvneta: Prevent out of bounds read in mvneta_config_rss() The pp->indir[0] value comes from the user. It is passed to: if (cpu_online(pp->rxq_def)) inside the mvneta_percpu_elect() function. It needs bounds checkeding to ensure that it is not beyond the end of the cpu bitmap.

- Overread Buffers An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.
