Unknown CVSS N/A

Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: libwx: fix the using of Rx buffer DMA

The wx_rx_buffer structure contained two DMA address fields: 'dma' and
'page_dma'. However, only 'page_dma' was actually initialized and used
to program the Rx descriptor. But 'dma' was uninitialized and used in
some paths.

This could lead to undefined behavior, including DMA errors or
use-after-free, if the uninitialized 'dma' was used. Althrough such
error has not yet occurred, it is worth fixing in the code.

Risk analysis

This vulnerability is rated ⚪ UNKNOWN.

  • CVSS: N/A
  • Detected tags: use_after_free (tag impact: LOW)

Recommended actions:

  • Prioritize remediation based on business criticality and exposure.
  • Limit exposure and increase monitoring until fixed.
