Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-22 15:31 – Updated: 2026-04-22 15:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: macb: use the current queue number for stats
There's a potential mismatch between the memory reserved for statistics and the amount of memory written.
gem_get_sset_count() correctly computes the number of stats based on the active queues, whereas gem_get_ethtool_stats() indiscriminately copies data using the maximum number of queues, and in the case the number of active queues is less than MACB_MAX_QUEUES, this results in a OOB write as observed in the KASAN splat.
