This underestimates the descriptors actually consumed by stmmac_tso_allocator(), since each fragment is mapped individually and so it needs at least one descriptor regardless of its size. Moreover, one descriptor is used for the L2/L3/L4 headers and, when the MSS changes, one more is consumed for the MSS context descriptor. For a highly fragmented TSO skb the check can therefore pass even when the ring has too few free slots. stmmac_tso_allocator() then writes past the available descriptors, overwriting descriptors still owned by the DMA engine, corrupting the TX ring. Add stmmac_tso_get_num_desc() to compute the exact number of descriptors needed for the header, the linear payload and each fragment, plus the MSS context descriptor when required, and use it in the availability check.</p> <p>In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:</p> <p>net: stmmac: fix TX descriptor availability check for TSO traffic</p> <p>stmmac_tso_xmit() estimates the number of free TX descriptors required by a TSO skb as:</p> <p>(skb-&gt;len - proto_hdr_len) / TSO_MAX_BUFF_SIZE + 1</p> <p>which assumes the payload is split into TSO_MAX_BUFF_SIZE chunks.
