CVE-2026-63857
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: airoha: Do not read uninitialized fragment address in airohadevxmit()
The transmit loop in airohadevxmit() reads fragment address and length
during its final iteration, when the loop index equals
skbshinfo(skb)->nrfrags, at which point the fragment data is
uninitialized. While these values are never consumed, the read itself is
unsafe and may trigger a page fault. Fix this by avoiding the fragment
read on the last iteration.
Additionally, move the skb pointer from the first to the last used packet
descriptor, so that airohaqdmatxnapipoll() defers freeing the skb
until the final descriptor is processed.
