Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: ti: icssg: guard PA stat lookups
icssg_ndo_get_stats64() unconditionally calls emac_get_stat_by_name()
with FW PA stat names regardless of whether the PA stats block is
present on the hardware. emac_get_stat_by_name() already guards the
PA stats lookup with `if (emac->prueth->pa_stats)`; when that pointer
is NULL the lookup falls through to netdev_err() and returns -EINVAL.
Because ndo_get_stats64 is polled regularly by the networking stack
this produces thousands of log entries of the form:
icssg-prueth icssg1-eth end0: Invalid stats FW_RX_ERROR
A secondary consequence is that the int(-EINVAL) return value is
implicitly widened to a near-ULLONG_MAX unsigned value when accumulated
into the __u64 fields of rtnl_link_stats64, silently corrupting the
rx_errors, rx_dropped and tx_dropped counters reported by `ip -s link`.
Every other PA-aware code path in the driver is already guarded with
the same `if (emac->prueth->pa_stats)` check. Apply the same guard
here.
