CVE Details

Release Date:

2024-05-21

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\natl1c: Work around the DMA RX overflow issue\nThis is based on alx driver commit 881d0327db37 ('net: alx: Work around\nthe DMA RX overflow issue').\nThe alx and atl1c drivers had RX overflow error which was why a custom\nallocator was created to avoid certain addresses. The simpler workaround\nthen created for alx driver, but not for atl1c due to lack of tester.\nInstead of using a custom allocator, check the allocated skb address and\nuse skb_reserve() to move away from problematic 0x...fc0 address.\nTested on AR8131 on Acer 4540.
