Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: fbnic: Fix payload page pool error cleanup
The payload page pool pointer contains an error pointer when its
allocation fails. The cleanup path passes that error pointer to
page_pool_destroy() instead of destroying the header page pool. This
can dereference the error pointer and leave the header page pool
allocated.
Destroy the header page pool instead.
