What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

eth: bnxt: fix truesize for mb-xdp-pass case

When mb-xdp is set and return is XDP_PASS, packet is converted from

xdp_buff to sk_buff with xdp_update_skb_shared_info() in

bnxt_xdp_build_skb().

bnxt_xdp_build_skb() passes incorrect truesize argument to

xdp_update_skb_shared_info().

The truesize is calculated as BNXT_RX_PAGE_SIZE * sinfo->nr_frags but

the skb_shared_info was wiped by napi_build_skb() before.

So it stores sinfo->nr_frags before bnxt_xdp_build_skb() and use it

instead of getting skb_shared_info from xdp_get_shared_info_from_buff().

Splat looks like:

How to reproduce:

<Node A>

ip link set $interface1 xdp obj xdp_pass.o

ip link set $interface1 mtu 9000 up

ip a a 10.0.0.1/24 dev $interface1

<Node B>

ip link set $interfac2 mtu 9000 up

ip a a 10.0.0.2/24 dev $interface2

ping 10.0.0.1 -s 65000

Following ping.py patch adds xdp-mb-pass case. so ping.py is going to be

able to reproduce this issue.
