NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libperf package and not the libperf package as distributed by AlmaLinux.

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

usbnet: ipheth: fix possible overflow in DPE length check

Originally, it was possible for the DPE length check to overflow if wDatagramIndex + wDatagramLength > U16_MAX. This could lead to an OoB read.

Move the wDatagramIndex term to the other side of the inequality.

An existing condition ensures that wDatagramIndex < urb->actual_length.
