Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's xilinx axienet network driver. This vulnerability arises from incorrect accounting of Buffer Queue Length (BQL), a mechanism that manages network buffer usage, for transmit (TX) packets that are split across multiple buffer descriptors. If these packet segments complete across different processing cycles, the system miscalculates the transmitted data. This error can cause the TX queue to stall, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) for network communications.

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
