NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-4_12_14-197_89-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-4_12_14-197_89-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.10. drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/gianfar.c in the Freescale Gianfar Ethernet driver allows attackers to cause a system crash because a negative fragment size is calculated in situations involving an rx queue overrun when jumbo packets are used and NAPI is enabled, aka CID-d8861bab48b6.
