- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: stmmac: fix the crash issue for
zero copy XDP_TX action There is a crash issue when running zero copy XDP_TX action, the crash log is
shown below. [ 216.122464] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffeffff80000000 [
216.187524] Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000144 [#1] SMP [ 216.301694] Call trace: [ 216.304130]
dcache_clean_poc+0x20/0x38 (P) [ 216.308308] __dma_sync_single_for_device+0x1bc/0x1e0 [ 216.313351]

stmmac_napi_poll_rxtx+0xba8/0xf00 [ 216.326576] __napi_poll+0x40/0x218 [ 216.408054] Kernel panic - not
syncing: Oops: Fatal exception in interrupt For XDP_TX action, the xdp_buff is converted to xdp_frame by
xdp_convert_buff_to_frame(). The memory type of the resulting xdp_frame depends on the memory type of the
xdp_buff. For page pool based xdp_buff it produces xdp_frame with memory type MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL. For zero
copy XSK pool based xdp_buff it produces xdp_frame with memory type MEM_TYPE_PAGE_ORDER0. However,
stmmac_xdp_xmit_back() does not check the memory type and always uses the page pool type, this leads to
invalid mappings and causes the crash. Therefore, check the xdp_buff memory type in stmmac_xdp_xmit_back()
to fix this issue. (CVE-2025-71095)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.162-1 or later.
