Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-10-01 08:01:40 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

e1000e: fix heap overflow in e1000_set_eeprom

Fix a possible heap overflow in e1000_set_eeprom function by adding
input validation for the requested length of the change in the EEPROM.
In addition, change the variable type from int to size_t for better
code practices and rearrange declarations to RCT.
