Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: atlantic: fix aq_vec index out of range error The final update statement of the for loop exceeds the array range, the
dereference of self->aq_vec[i] is not checked and then leads to the
index out of range error.
Also fixed this kind of coding style in other for loop. [ 97.937604] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/net/ethernet/aquantia/atlantic/aq_nic.c:1404:48

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Aquantia Atlantic driver, where a lack of proper bounds checking during loop indexing can lead to an out-of-bounds access. This can lead to undefined system behavior and a denial of service.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: atlantic: fix aq_vec index out of range error The final update statement of the for loop exceeds the array range, the dereference of self->aq_vec[i] is not checked and then leads to the index out of range error. Also fixed this kind of coding style in other for loop.
