CVE-2025-40175
idpf: cleanup remaining SKBs in PTP flows
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
idpf: cleanup remaining SKBs in PTP flows
When the driver requests Tx timestamp value, one of the first steps is
to clone SKB using skb_get. It increases the reference counter for that
SKB to prevent unexpected freeing by another component.
However, there may be a case where the index is requested, SKB is
assigned and never consumed by PTP flows - for example due to reset during
running PTP apps.
Add a check in release timestamping function to verify if the SKB
assigned to Tx timestamp latch was freed, and release remaining SKBs.
