In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: airoha: Do not read uninitialized fragment address in airoha_dev_xmit()
The transmit loop in airoha_dev_xmit() reads fragment address and length
during its final iteration, when the loop index equals
skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags, at which point the fragment data is
uninitialized. While these values are never consumed, the read itself is
unsafe and may trigger a page fault. Fix this by avoiding the fragment
read on the last iteration.
Additionally, move the skb pointer from the first to the last used packet
descriptor, so that airoha_qdma_tx_napi_poll() defers freeing the skb
until the final descriptor is processed.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's airoha network driver. The transmit function airoha_dev_xmit() attempts to read uninitialized memory during its final processing loop. This unsafe memory access may lead to a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
