Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-05-01 14:01:31 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ethtool: cmis_cdb: use correct rpl size in ethtool_cmis_module_poll()

rpl is passed as a pointer to ethtool_cmis_module_poll(), so the correct
size of rpl is sizeof(*rpl) which should be just 1 byte.  Using the
pointer size instead can cause stack corruption:

Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ethtool_cmis_wait_for_cond+0xf4/0x100
