CVE-2026-23343
Publication date:
25/03/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
xdp: produce a warning when calculated tailroom is negative<br />
<br />
Many ethernet drivers report xdp Rx queue frag size as being the same as<br />
DMA write size. However, the only user of this field, namely<br />
bpf_xdp_frags_increase_tail(), clearly expects a truesize.<br />
<br />
Such difference leads to unspecific memory corruption issues under certain<br />
circumstances, e.g. in ixgbevf maximum DMA write size is 3 KB, so when<br />
running xskxceiver&#39;s XDP_ADJUST_TAIL_GROW_MULTI_BUFF, 6K packet fully uses<br />
all DMA-writable space in 2 buffers. This would be fine, if only<br />
rxq->frag_size was properly set to 4K, but value of 3K results in a<br />
negative tailroom, because there is a non-zero page offset.<br />
<br />
We are supposed to return -EINVAL and be done with it in such case, but due<br />
to tailroom being stored as an unsigned int, it is reported to be somewhere<br />
near UINT_MAX, resulting in a tail being grown, even if the requested<br />
offset is too much (it is around 2K in the abovementioned test). This later<br />
leads to all kinds of unspecific calltraces.<br />
