| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's cdc-phonet driver. A malicious USB device, pretending to be a CDC Phonet modem, can exploit this vulnerability by sending an unlimited number of large data transfers. This can cause an overflow in the kernel's internal data buffer (skb_shared_info->frags[] array), leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition where the system may become unresponsive or crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: usb: cdc-phonet: fix skb frags[] overflow in rx_complete() A malicious USB device claiming to be a CDC Phonet modem can overflow the skb_shared_info->frags[] array by sending an unbounded sequence of full-page bulk transfers. Drop the skb and increment the length error when the frag limit is reached. This matches the same fix that commit f0813bcd2d9d ("net: wwan: t7xx: fix potential skb->frags overflow in RX path") did for the t7xx driver.
