Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: altera-tse: fix skb leak on DMA mapping error in tse_start_xmit() When dma_map_single() fails in tse_start_xmit(), the function returns NETDEV_TX_OK without freeing the skb. Since NETDEV_TX_OK tells the stack the packet was consumed, the skb is never freed, leaking memory on every DMA mapping failure. Add dev_kfree_skb_any() before returning to properly free the skb.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 3.15.1 < 5.10.253) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.203) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.169) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.135) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.82) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.23) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.13) • linux linux kernel 3.15 • linux linux kernel 7.0
