"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nqede: confirm skb is allocated before using\n\nqede_build_skb() assumes build_skb() always works and goes straight\nto skb_reserve(). However, build_skb() can fail under memory pressure.\nThis results in a kernel panic because the skb to reserve is NULL.\n\nAdd a check in case build_skb() failed to allocate and return NULL.\n\nThe NULL return is handled correctly in callers to qede_build_skb()."

"value": "AV:N - qede is the QLogic/Marvell FastLinQ Ethernet NIC RX path (qede_msix_fp_int → NAPI qede_poll → qede_rx_int → qede_rx_process_cqe → qede_rx_build_skb → qede_build_skb), reached when frames arrive on internet-facing servers and cloud VFs; a remote peer triggers it by sending packets.\nAC:L - build_skb() uses GFP_ATOMIC and fails under atomic allocation pressure that a sustained packet flood readily creates, and frames larger than the 256-byte rx_copybreak (or TPA/GRO) deterministically take the vulnerable path; the attacker drives both reachability and the failure condition.\nPR:N - NIC receive and NAPI softirq processing run on every inbound frame with no authentication, capability check, or local account required.\nUI:N - Reception and NAPI polling proceed automatically whenever the qede interface is up; no victim action such as opening a file or mounting a filesystem is needed.\nS:U - The NULL dereference and resulting oops remain inside the host kernel that owns the qede driver; no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-authority boundary is crossed.\nC:N - skb_reserve() on a NULL skb is a pure NULL pointer dereference of fixed struct offsets below mmap_min_addr with no OOB read, UAF reclaim, or other disclosure primitive.\nI:N - The fault stores through a NULL skb pointer and aborts immediately without modifying attacker-influenced kernel objects, so there is no write primitive or control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The NULL dereference in skb_reserve() causes a kernel oops/panic in softirq/NAPI context, which is a full availability impact under kernel CVSS guidance."
