An update of the linux package has been released.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - net/mlx5e: RX, Fix XDP multi-buf frag counting for striding RQ XDP multi-buf programs can modify the     layout of the XDP buffer when the program calls bpf_xdp_pull_data() or bpf_xdp_adjust_tail(). The     referenced commit in the fixes tag corrected the assumption in the mlx5 driver that the XDP buffer layout     doesn't change during a program execution. However, this fix introduced another issue: the dropped     fragments still need to be counted on the driver side to avoid page fragment reference counting issues.
    The issue was discovered by the drivers/net/xdp.py selftest, more specifically the test_xdp_native_tx_mb:
    - The mlx5 driver allocates a page_pool page and initializes it with a frag counter of 64     (pp_ref_count=64) and the internal frag counter to 0. - The test sends one packet with no payload. - On RX     (mlx5e_skb_from_cqe_mpwrq_nonlinear()), mlx5 configures the XDP buffer with the packet data starting in     the first fragment which is the page mentioned above. - The XDP program runs and calls bpf_xdp_pull_data()     which moves the header into the linear part of the XDP buffer. As the packet doesn't contain more data,     the program drops the tail fragment since it no longer contains any payload (pp_ref_count=63). - mlx5     device skips counting this fragment. Internal frag counter remains 0. - mlx5 releases all 64 fragments of     the page but page pp_ref_count is 63 => negative reference counting error. Resulting splat during the     test: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 188225 at ./include/net/page_pool/helpers.h:297     mlx5e_page_release_fragmented.isra.0+0xbd/0xe0 [mlx5_core] Modules linked in: [...] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID:

This patch fixes the issue by doing page frag counting on     all the original XDP buffer fragments for all relevant XDP actions (XDP_TX , XDP_REDIRECT and XDP_PASS).
    This is basically reverting to the original counting before the commit in the fixes tag. As frag_page is     still pointing to the original tail, the nr_frags parameter to xdp_update_skb_frags_info() needs to be     calculated in a different way to reflect the new nr_frags. (CVE-2026-43465)
