Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usbnet: ipheth: do not stop RX on failing RX callback RX callbacks can fail for multiple reasons: * Payload too short
* Payload formatted incorrecly (e.g. bad NCM framing)
* Lack of memory None of these should cause the driver to seize up. Make such failures non-critical and continue processing further
incoming URBs.
