Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-15 06:26:32 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

octeontx2-af: Validate NIX maximum LFs correctly

NIX maximum number of LFs can be set via devlink command
but that can be done before assigning any LFs to a PF/VF.
The condition used to check whether any LFs are assigned is
incorrect. This patch fixes that condition.
