CVE-2026-23453
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ti: icssg-prueth: Fix memory leak in XDP_DROP for non-zero-copy mode
Page recycling was removed from the XDP_DROP path in emac_run_xdp() to
avoid conflicts with AF_XDP zero-copy mode, which uses xsk_buff_free()
instead.
However, this causes a memory leak when running XDP programs that drop
packets in non-zero-copy mode (standard page pool mode). The pages are
never returned to the page pool, leading to OOM conditions.
Fix this by handling cleanup in the caller, emac_rx_packet().
When emac_run_xdp() returns ICSSG_XDP_CONSUMED for XDP_DROP, the
caller now recycles the page back to the page pool. The zero-copy
path, emac_rx_packet_zc() already handles cleanup correctly with
xsk_buff_free().
