CVE-2026-23172

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:net: wwan: t7xx: fix potential skb->frags overflow in RX pathWhen receiving data in the DPMAIF RX path,the t7xx_dpmaif_set_frag_to_skb() function addspage fragments to an skb without checking if the number offragments has exceeded MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This could lead to a buffer overflowin skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[] array, corrupting adjacent memory andpotentially causing kernel crashes or other undefined behavior.This issue was identified through static code analysis by comparing with asimilar vulnerability fixed in the mt76 driver commit b102f0c522cf (mt76:fix array overflow on receiving too many fragments for a packet).The vulnerability could be triggered if the modem firmware sends packetswith excessive fragments. While under normal protocol conditions (MTU 3080bytes, BAT buffer 3584 bytes),a single packet should not require additionalfragments, the kernel should not blindly trust firmware behavior.Malicious, buggy, or compromised firmware could potentially craft packetswith more fragments than the kernel expects.Fix this by adding a bounds check before calling skb_add_rx_frag() toensure nr_frags does not exceed MAX_SKB_FRAGS.The check must be performed before unmapping to avoid a page leakand double DMA unmap during device teardown.
