Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: drain continuation descs after overflow in xsk_build_skb()
Fix generic xmit path multi-buffer logic when packets are either too big
(count of descriptors exceed MAX_SKB_FRAGS) or an invalid descriptor is
included in fragmented packet. Introduce xdp_sock::drain_cont and act
upon this flag - when it is set, keep on consuming descriptors from
AF_XDP Tx ring and put them directly onto Cq. Previously these
descriptors were silently lost and could never be reached again.
