From b5a266d013ae079fde994f1f517d7721b4823edf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2016 23:23:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] atl2: Disable unimplemented scatter/gather feature commit f43bfaeddc79effbf3d0fcb53ca477cca66f3db8 upstream. atl2 includes NETIF_F_SG in hw_features even though it has no support for non-linear skbs. This bug was originally harmless since the driver does not claim to implement checksum offload and that used to be a requirement for SG. Now that SG and checksum offload are independent features, if you explicitly enable SG *and* use one of the rare protocols that can use SG without checkusm offload, this potentially leaks sensitive information (before you notice that it just isn't working). Therefore this obscure bug has been designated CVE-2016-2117. Reported-by: Justin Yackoski Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Fixes: ec5f06156423 ("net: Kill link between CSUM and SG features.")
