In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt: avoid overflow in bnxt_get_nvram_directory()
The value of an arithmetic expression is subject
of possible overflow due to a failure to cast operands to a larger data
type before performing arithmetic. Used macro for multiplication instead
operator for avoiding overflow.
