Summary

In the virtio_net driver, the RX ring resize operation was fixed for when an AF_XDP socket is attached, preventing write past the end of the xsk_buffs array when the size grows. The fix properly resizes the array.

It can cause memory corruption and system crashes.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio_net: Fix resize of the RX ring When a AF_XDP socket is attached, the virtnet_rx_resize should resize the rq->xsk_buffs XSK buffer array. Otherwise, when the size grows, the virtnet_rx_resume() causes a write past the end of the array. This is easily reproducable with ethtool -G ens3 rx 32 ./xdpsock -i eth0 -q 0 -r -z & ethtool -G eth0 rx 256
