CVE-2026-23386
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gve: fix incorrect buffer cleanup in gve_tx_clean_pending_packets for QPL
In DQ-QPL mode, gve_tx_clean_pending_packets() incorrectly uses the RDA
buffer cleanup path. It iterates num_bufs times and attempts to unmap
entries in the dma array.
This leads to two issues:
1. The dma array shares storage with tx_qpl_buf_ids (union).
Interpreting buffer IDs as DMA addresses results in attempting to
unmap incorrect memory locations.
2. num_bufs in QPL mode (counting 2K chunks) can significantly exceed
the size of the dma array, causing out-of-bounds access warnings
(trace below is how we noticed this issue).
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in
drivers/net/ethernet/drivers/net/ethernet/google/gve/gve_tx_dqo.c:178:5 index 18 is out of
range for type 'dma_addr_t[18]' (aka 'unsigned long long[18]')
Workqueue: gve gve_service_task [gve]

Fix this by properly checking for QPL mode and delegating to
gve_free_tx_qpl_bufs() to reclaim the buffers.
