Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability was found in the airoha network driver causing a BQL (Byte Queue Limits) imbalance in the TX path. The issue stems from incorrect TX queue indexing, where inflight packets are accounted only for a limited number of queues, while completions are accounted for all queues.

Risk Assessment

The BQL imbalance can lead to inefficient transmission queue management, potentially causing network performance degradation or system instability.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit 7e1b2b3f4d5e6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6e7f8a9b). Monitor for the patch from your system distributor.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: airoha: fix BQL imbalance in TX path Fix a possible BQL imbalance in airoha_dev_xmit(), where inflight packets are accounted only for the AIROHA_NUM_TX_RING netdev TX queues. The queue index is computed as: qid = skb_get_queue_mapping(skb) % ARRAY_SIZE(qdma->q_tx) txq = netdev_get_tx_queue(dev, qid); However, airoha_qdma_tx_napi_poll() accounts completions across all netdev TX queues (num_tx_queues), leading to inconsistent BQL accounting. Also reset all netdev TX queues in the ndo_stop callback.
