Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: fix the crash issue for zero copy XDP_TX action
There is a crash issue when running zero copy XDP_TX action, the crash
log is shown below.
[ 216.122464] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffeffff80000000
[ 216.187524] Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000144 [#1] SMP

For XDP_TX action, the xdp_buff is converted to xdp_frame by
xdp_convert_buff_to_frame(). The memory type of the resulting xdp_frame
depends on the memory type of the xdp_buff. For page pool based xdp_buff
it produces xdp_frame with memory type MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL. For zero copy
XSK pool based xdp_buff it produces xdp_frame with memory type
MEM_TYPE_PAGE_ORDER0. However, stmmac_xdp_xmit_back() does not check the
memory type and always uses the page pool type, this leads to invalid
mappings and causes the crash. Therefore, check the xdp_buff memory type
in stmmac_xdp_xmit_back() to fix this issue.
