CVE-2026-43093

Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xsk: tighten UMEM headroom validation to account for tailroom and min frame

The current headroom validation in xdp_umem_reg() could leave us with insufficient space dedicated to even receive minimum-sized ethernet frame. Furthermore if multi-buffer would come to play then skb_shared_info stored at the end of XSK frame would be corrupted.

HW typically works with 128-aligned sizes so let us provide this value as bare minimum.

Multi-buffer setting is known later in the configuration process so besides accounting for 128 bytes, let us also take care of tailroom space upfront.
