CVE-2023-54223
What it is
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: xsk: Fix invalid buffer access for legacy rq The below crash can be encountered when using xdpsock in rx mode for legacy rq: the buffer gets released in the XDP_REDIRECT path, and then once again in the driver. This fix sets the flag to avoid releasing on the driver side. XSK handling of buffers for legacy rq was relying on the caller to set the skip release flag. But the referenced fix started using fragment counts for pages instead of the skip flag. Crash log: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xffff8881217e3a: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU: 0 PID: 14 Comm: ksoftirqd/0 Not tainted 6.5.0-rc1+ #31 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.13.0-0-gf21b5a4aeb02-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:bpf_prog_03b13f331978c78c+0xf/0x28 Code: ...
