Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-15 06:32:53 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/bnxt_re: Avoid displaying the kernel pointer

While dumping the info on MR using the rdma tool, we
dump the mr_hwq which is a kernel pointer. There is
no need to expose this value for end user. So avoid
it.
