Summary
CVE-2024-56719 affecting package kernel 5.15.200.1-1
Details

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

net: stmmac: fix TSO DMA API usage causing oops

Commit 66600fac7a98 ("net: stmmac: TSO: Fix unbalanced DMA map/unmap for non-paged SKB data") moved the assignment of txskbuffdma[]'s members to be later in stmmactsoxmit().

The buf (dma cookie) and len stored in this structure are passed to dmaunmapsingle() by stmmactxclean(). The DMA API requires that the dma cookie passed to dmaunmapsingle() is the same as the value returned from dmamapsingle(). However, by moving the assignment later, this is not the case when priv->dmacap.addr64 > 32 as "des" is offset by protohdr_len.

This causes problems such as:

dwc-eth-dwmac 2490000.ethernet eth0: Tx DMA map failed

and with DMAAPIDEBUG enabled:

DMA-API: dwc-eth-dwmac 2490000.ethernet: device driver tries to +free DMA memory it has not allocated [device address=0x000000ffffcf65c0] [size=66 bytes]

Fix this by maintaining "des" as the original DMA cookie, and use tsodes to pass the offset DMA cookie to stmmactso_allocator().
