Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-11 21:29:26 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

NTB: ntb_transport: Reject oversized TX buffers

ntb_process_tx() handles an oversized buffer by calling tx_handler()
with a NULL data pointer and returning success. ntb_netdev therefore
neither frees the skb in its completion callback nor takes its enqueue
error path, leaking it.

Reject oversized buffers in ntb_transport_tx_enqueue() before acquiring
a queue entry and return -EMSGSIZE. The caller retains ownership of the
buffer, and the preceding netdev patch frees the skb when enqueue
returns this permanent error.
