Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mvpp2: limit XDP frame size to the RX buffer mvpp2 has short and long BM pools, and short pool buffers can be smaller than PAGE_SIZE. The XDP path nevertheless initializes every xdp_buff with PAGE_SIZE as frame size. XDP helpers use frame_sz to validate tail growth and to derive the hard end of the data area. Advertising PAGE_SIZE for short buffers can let bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() grow a packet past the real allocation, corrupting memory or later tripping skb tailroom checks. Initialize the XDP buffer with bm_pool->frag_size so XDP tailroom matches the actual buffer backing the packet.

Administrative privilege is needed to install XDP, but not to trigger the vulnerable receive path.\nUI:N - No victim user action is required after the affected interface and XDP dataplane are running.\nS:U - The corruption occurs within the kernel/network-driver security authority and does not cross a separate boundary such as guest-to-host or IOMMU isolation.\nC:H - This is kernel memory corruption from writing past the real RX buffer; such corruption can reasonably be leveraged for information disclosure.\nI:H - bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() can write beyond the allocated buffer due to the false PAGE_SIZE frame limit, making this an out-of-bounds kernel write.\nA:H - The bug can corrupt adjacent memory or trip skb tailroom checks, making kernel crashes or persistent receive-path failure plausible."
