In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hip04: fix RX buffer leak on build_skb failure
When build_skb() fails in hip04_rx_poll(), the driver jumps to the
refill path without releasing the current RX buffer and its DMA mapping.
Installing a replacement buffer then overwrites the slot references and
leaks both resources.
Keep the current slot intact and return budget so NAPI retries the same
buffer. Also free a newly allocated RX fragment when dma_map_single()
fails.
This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's hip04 network driver. This vulnerability occurs when the build_skb() function fails during the hip04_rx_poll() operation. The driver incorrectly proceeds without releasing the network receive (RX) buffer and its associated Direct Memory Access (DMA) mapping. This leads to a resource leak, which could be exploited by a local attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by exhausting available memory resources.
Отчет
This issue affects HiSilicon hip04 network adapters. RX buffers leak when build_skb() fails during hip04_rx_poll(). Systems without hip04 hardware are not affected.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the hip04 module from loading. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions.
