Summary
ethtool: coalesce: cap profile updates at NET_DIM_PARAMS_NUM_PROFILES
Details

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

ethtool: coalesce: cap profile updates at NETDIMPARAMSNUMPROFILES

ethnlupdateprofile() walks the ETHTOOLAPROFILEIRQMODERATION nest list with an index 'i' and writes newprofile[i++] without bounding i. The destination is kmemdup()'d at NETDIMPARAMSNUM_PROFILES entries (5), but the Netlink nest count is entirely user-controlled. Netlink policies do not have support for constraining the number of nested entries (or number of multi-attr entries).
