CVE-2025-68301
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atlantic: fix fragment overflow handling in RX path
The atlantic driver can receive packets with more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS (17) fragments when handling large multi-descriptor packets. This causes an out-of-bounds write in skb_add_rx_frag_netmem() leading to kernel panic.
The issue occurs because the driver doesn't check the total number of fragments before calling skb_add_rx_frag(). When a packet requires more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS fragments, the fragment index exceeds the array bounds.
Fix by assuming there will be an extra frag if buff->len > AQ_CFG_RX_HDR_SIZE, then all fragments are accounted for. And reusing the existing check to prevent the overflow earlier in the code path.

This crash occurred in production with an Aquantia AQC113 10G NIC.
Changes in v4: - Add Fixes: tag to satisfy patch validation requirements.
Changes in v3: - Fix by assuming there will be an extra frag if buff->len > AQ_CFG_RX_HDR_SIZE, then all fragments are accounted for.
