Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ll_temac: Make sure to free skb when it is completely used With the skb pointer piggy-backed on the TX BD, we have a simple and
efficient way to free the skb buffer when the frame has been transmitted.
But in order to avoid freeing the skb while there are still fragments from
the skb in use, we need to piggy-back on the TX BD of the skb, not the
first. Without this, we are doing use-after-free on the DMA side, when the first
BD of a multi TX BD packet is seen as completed in xmit_done, and the
remaining BDs are still being processed.

En el kernel de Linux se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net:ll_temac: Asegúrate de liberar skb cuando esté completamente utilizado. Con el puntero skb acoplado en la BD TX, tenemos una forma sencilla y eficaz de liberar el buffer skb. cuando la trama ha sido transmitida. Pero para evitar liberar el skb mientras todavía hay fragmentos del skb en uso, debemos aprovechar el BD TX del skb, no el primero. Sin esto, estamos haciendo use after free en el lado DMA, cuando el primer BD de un paquete BD de transmisión múltiple se considera completado en xmit_done y los BD restantes todavía se están procesando.
