How to fix?

Upgrade Chainguard linux-desktop-7.2 to version 7.2.7-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-desktop-7.2 package and not the linux-desktop-7.2 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

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

net: bcmasp: clear txcb->last before writing each descriptor

bcmasp_xmit() only wrote txcb->last = true for the final fragment of an SKB; non-final fragments left the field untouched. If a descriptor slot was reused while it still held a stale true from a previous SKB (possible when tx_spb_ring_full() underreported fullness), bcmasp_tx_reclaim() would see last == true mid-SKB and call dev_consume_skb_any() prematurely, freeing the sk_buff while its remaining fragments were still in flight.

Unconditionally clear txcb->last before the conditional set so every descriptor slot starts from a known false state regardless of what a prior transmission left behind.
