In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: cortina: Carry over frag counter
The gmac_rx() NAPI poll function assembles packets in an
SKB from a ring buffer.
If the ring buffer gets completely emptied during a poll cycle,
we exit gmac_rx(), but the packet is not yet completely
assembled in the SKB, yet the fragment counter frag_nr is
reset to zero on the next invocation.
Solve this by making the RX fragment counter a part of the
port struct, and carry it over between invocations.
Reset the fragment counter only right after calling
napi_gro_frags(), on error (after calling napi_free_frags())
or if stopping the port.
Reset it in some place where not strictly necessary just to
emphasize what is going on.
This was found by Sashiko during normal patch review.
