Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mvpp2 network driver. This vulnerability occurs due to incorrect handling of receive (RX) buffers, where a buffer is returned to the hardware Buffer Manager (BM) pool after it has been passed to the eXpress Data Path (XDP) or attached to a socket buffer (skb). This allows hardware Direct Memory Access (DMA) operations into memory that is no longer controlled by the RX ring, potentially leading to memory corruption.
Mitigation
No mitigation is specified in collected source.
