Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-25 11:35:04 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: stmmac: fix dma mapping leak in stmmac_tso_xmit()

In stmmac_tso_xmit(), if the DMA mapping of an skb fragment fails, the
frame is dropped but the DMA mappings already created for the linear
part and for the fragments mapped before the failure are never
unmapped, leaking DMA mappings.

Fix the leak by walking back over the descriptors used by the frame and
releasing each of them with stmmac_free_tx_buffer(). Moreover, release
the descriptors with stmmac_release_tx_desc() unmapping the DMA buffers.
