"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nrtase: fix double free of multi-frag skb on DMA map failure\n\nIn rtase_start_xmit(), when the head buffer DMA mapping fails after\nrtase_xmit_frags() has mapped all fragments, the error path clears\nthe fragment descriptors with rtase_tx_clear_range(), which frees\nthe skb through the last-frag slot and accounts tx_dropped. Control\nthen falls through to the common error label, which frees the same\nskb a second time and counts it again.\n\nReturn right after clearing the fragments when the skb owns frags;\nthe no-frag case still drops through and frees the head skb once."

{

"value": "AV:N - The flaw is in rtase_start_xmit (ndo_start_xmit) on the Realtek Automotive Switch PCIe netdev; a remote peer can reach it by sending traffic that the host forwards, bridges, or answers out the rtase interface on automotive gateways and industrial routers without local shell access.\nAC:L - NETIF_F_SG enables multi-fragment TX skbs that rtase_xmit_frags maps before the head; an attacker can reliably create such packets and pressure SWIOTLB/IOVA resources with concurrent egress so the final head dma_map_single fails after fragment mapping succeeds, deterministically hitting the buggy error path.\nPR:N - Exploitation needs only the ability to inject or induce network traffic transmitted via the rtase netdev; no target credentials, capabilities, or local account are required on forwarding automotive/industrial gateways where this driver is deployed.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is required; the double free occurs automatically when the kernel queues a multi-fragment skb and the head DMA mapping fails during normal transmit error handling.\nS:U - The double free corrupts kernel heap allocator state on the host running the rtase driver; it does not cross VM, container, or IOMMU security boundaries.\nC:H - Double-freeing the same skb is kernel heap memory corruption that can corrupt freelist metadata and enable reuse of freed skb memory for arbitrary kernel memory disclosure, not merely a bounded leak.\nI:H - Heap corruption from freeing the same skb twice can be shaped into arbitrary kernel memory writes or control-flow hijacking via slab reuse, not limited to dropping a single packet.\nA:H - Double-freeing an skb reliably corrupts the slab allocator and can trigger immediate oops, panic, or watchdog reset; the attacker can repeat multi-fragment transmits under DMA pressure for sustained denial of service on safety-critical automotive networks."
