Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atlantic: free RX pages of consumed but not refilled buffers
aq_ring_rx_deinit() only walks [sw_head, sw_tail), the region posted to
hardware. Since the page reuse strategy was added, a cleaned RX buffer
keeps its page (and its DMA mapping) in the ring for reuse, and refill
is batched: aq_ring_rx_fill() returns early until AQ_CFG_RX_REFILL_THRES
slots are free. Slots that were consumed but not yet reposted therefore
sit in the complementary [sw_tail, sw_head) gap with a live page, and
the deinit walk never visits them: up to a refill batch worth of pages
and DMA mappings leak on every interface down.
Walk the whole ring instead and release whatever is still there. Also
bail out if the buffer ring is already gone: a partial
aq_ptp_ring_alloc() failure frees the ring but leaves aq_nic set, so
aq_ptp_ring_deinit() still gets here on the unwind path.
