Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-35901)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-35901). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: Fix Rx DMA datasize and skb_over_panic
mana_get_rxbuf_cfg() aligns the RX buffer's DMA datasize to be
multiple of 64. So a packet slightly bigger than mtu+14, say 1536,
can be received and cause skb_over_panic.
Sample dmesg:

As discussed internally, this alignment is not necessary. To fix
this bug, remove it from the code. So oversized packets will be
marked as CQE_RX_TRUNCATED by NIC, and dropped.
