Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: ti: icssg-prueth: fix missing data copy and wrong recycle in ZC RX dispatch<br />
<br />
emac_dispatch_skb_zc() allocates a new skb via napi_alloc_skb() but<br />
never copies the packet data from the XDP buffer into it. The skb is<br />
passed up the stack containing uninitialized heap memory instead of<br />
the actual received packet, leaking kernel heap contents to userspace.<br />
<br />
Copy the received packet data from the XDP buffer into the skb using<br />
skb_copy_to_linear_data().<br />
<br />
Additionally, remove the skb_mark_for_recycle() call since the skb is<br />
backed by the NAPI page frag allocator, not page_pool. Marking a<br />
non-page_pool skb for recycle causes the free path to return pages to<br />
a page_pool that does not own them, corrupting page_pool state.<br />
<br />
The non-ZC path (emac_rx_packet) does not have these issues because it<br />
uses napi_build_skb() to wrap the existing page_pool page directly,<br />
requiring no copy, and correctly marks for recycle since the page comes<br />
from page_pool_dev_alloc_pages().
