What to Know

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

net: ethernet: cortina: Fix budget accounting

The gmac_rx() function returns the remaining NAPI budget, but its

caller treats the return value as the number of packets received. An

idle poll therefore reports a full budget and remains scheduled.

Return the number of received packets instead. Preserve the existing

free queue refill accounting by adding that count directly; continuing

to subtract it from the budget would invert the refill behavior. (NVD)

What to Do

Monitor Linux's web page for any future patch releases.
