Summary

In the Linux kernel, the airoha network driver was missing DMA TX descriptor reset in airoha_qdma_cleanup_tx_queue(). The fix adds the missing operations, similar to airoha_qdma_cleanup_rx_queue(), and resets TX_DMA_IDX to TX_CPU_IDX to notify the NIC that the QDMA TX ring is empty.

Risk Assessment

Missing DMA TX descriptor reset can lead to an incorrect TX ring state, potentially causing memory leaks, transmission hangs, or network interface instability.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit addressing CVE-2026-63859) and reboot the system.
