In a reasonable deployment with the interface exposed to routed or bridged traffic, a remote sender can cause packets to enter this path.\nAC:L - Once AF_XDP zero-copy RX is active, packet reception deterministically reaches `emac_rx_packet_zc()` and `emac_dispatch_skb_zc()` without a race or special timing. The attacker can repeatedly send packets to trigger the missing data copy and bad recycle behavior.\nPR:N - The packet-processing path itself performs no authentication or privilege checks; packets are accepted by the NIC, DMA completion, IRQ, and NAPI RX path. In the network-attacker scenario, AF_XDP zero-copy is an existing operational configuration, so the attacker needs no local privileges.\nUI:N - Exploitation only requires packet delivery to the affected interface. No victim user action such as opening a file or mounting a filesystem is required.\nS:U - The vulnerable component and impacted resources are within the same kernel/network stack security authority. There is no VM, IOMMU, or separate security-domain boundary crossed.\nC:H - The missing `skb_copy_to_linear_data()` causes skb payload bytes passed up the stack to contain uninitialized kernel heap memory instead of packet data. The leak is packet-sized and repeatable, making high confidentiality impact defensible.\nI:H - The erroneous `skb_mark_for_recycle()` marks a non-page-pool skb for page_pool recycling, corrupting allocator/page_pool state. Such kernel memory-management corruption can plausibly be leveraged for arbitrary memory corruption or control-flow compromise.\nA:H - The page_pool state corruption can lead to invalid recycling, use-after-free, double-free, or other kernel memory-management failures. Even without full exploitation, repeated packet-triggered corruption can crash or destabilize the kernel."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/net/ethernet/ti/icssg/icssg_common.c"], "versions": [{"version": "7a64bb388df3cf091afdd047c701039a13acd3b4", "lessThan": "a968438d4fc17ee1dcdc3cfa490dcb5e7709cf76", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "7a64bb388df3cf091afdd047c701039a13acd3b4", "lessThan": "5597dd284ff8c556c0b00f6a34473677426e3f81", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/net/ethernet/ti/icssg/icssg_common.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.19", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.19", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.19.12", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.19.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.0", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.12"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a968438d4fc17ee1dcdc3cfa490dcb5e7709cf76"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5597dd284ff8c556c0b00f6a34473677426e3f81"}], "title": "net: ti: icssg-prueth: fix missing data copy and wrong recycle in ZC RX dispatch", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
