Title
net: bcmasp: fix potential memory leak in bcmasp_xmit()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: bcmasp: fix potential memory leak in bcmasp_xmit() The bcmasp_xmit() returns NETDEV_TX_OK without freeing skb in case of mapping fails, add dev_kfree_skb() to fix it.

This matches how other net-driver/net-stack skb-leak CVEs are scored (e.g. CVE-2026-23453, CVE-2026-43373, CVE-2025-37757).\nAC:L - The attacker drives the vulnerable path at will by generating sustained traffic, and that same flood raises in-flight DMA/swiotlb pressure that produces the `dma_mapping_error()` condition; once a failure occurs the leaked mappings make further failures progressively easier, so the trigger is repeatable rather than dependent on conditions outside the attacker\u0027s influence.\nPR:N - No credentials or privileges are needed \u2014 a remote unauthenticated attacker merely sends packets that elicit kernel replies, and locally any unprivileged process can transmit on the interface via an ordinary socket.\nUI:N - No victim action is required; the transmit path runs autonomously as the kernel answers received traffic or as any process sends data.\nS:U - The leaked skbs and DMA mappings are kernel resources of the same system and security authority as the vulnerable driver; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:N - Nothing is disclosed to the attacker \u2014 the skb is simply never freed, and no descriptor holding stale data is published to hardware, so there is no out-of-bounds read or information leak.\nI:N - No memory is corrupted or modified: the descriptor ring is rewound and `tx_spb_dma_valid` is left unadvanced, so the hardware never consumes the partially-built entries and no write primitive arises.\nA:H - Each failure permanently leaks a full skb (head plus fragment pages) and its DMA/swiotlb mappings, and the lost DMA resources make further failures more likely, so a sustained remote-driven flood escalates into unbounded kernel memory exhaustion, OOM kills, and system-wide denial of service on the memory-constrained STB/embedded platforms this driver targets."
