Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> tap: free page on error paths in tap_get_user_xdp()<br /> <br /> tap_get_user_xdp() rejects a frame shorter than ETH_HLEN with -EINVAL,<br /> and returns -ENOMEM when build_skb() fails. Both paths jump to the err<br /> label without freeing the page that vhost_net_build_xdp() allocated for<br /> the frame. tap_sendmsg() discards the per-buffer return value and always<br /> returns 0, so vhost_tx_batch() takes the success path and never frees<br /> the page; each rejected frame in a batch leaks one page-frag chunk.<br /> <br /> Free the page on both error paths, before the skb is built. This is the<br /> tap counterpart of the same leak in tun_xdp_one().
