      "title": "net/mlx5e: Prevent stale XSK buffer release on refill retry",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/mlx5e: Prevent stale XSK buffer release on refill retry\n\nWhen an XDP redirect to an AF_XDP socket fails because its RX ring is\nfull, the XSK core frees the buffer. During the subsequent batched refill\nof a legacy cyclic RQ, mlx5e also releases the WQE's XSK buffer before\nallocating a replacement. If that refill succeeds only partially, a WQE\nleft without a replacement retains its old buffer pointer.\n\nThe buffer can meanwhile be allocated to another WQE. A later refill\nretry can then free the live buffer through the stale pointer and publish\nthe same UMEM frame twice.\n\nMark the WQE as released immediately after the driver-side free. The flag\nis already cleared when a replacement buffer is assigned, so refill\nretries no longer release stale pointers.\n\nThe failure is silent and produces no kernel warning or splat. A\nstandalone legacy cyclic-RQ zero-copy libxsk reproducer, using 64-byte UDP\ntraffic offered at 12 Mpps, detected it: stock stopped after 2,854,914\npackets in 4.094 seconds, with 4,542 xdp_rx_ring_full events and 64\nownership/double-publication errors. With this change it processed\n356,904,225 packets in 30 seconds despite 571,405 xdp_rx_ring_full events,\nwith no ownership or data errors.",
