CVE-2026-98272NVD
Vulnerability Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mvpp2: prevent buffer overflow in page_pool allocation
The per‑processor buffering scheme is supported only if the
number of pools (nrxqs * 2) does not exceed MVPP2_BM_MAX_POOLS (8).
This is already checked in mvpp2_probe() during the initial
activation of percpu_pools.
However, mvpp2_change_mtu() may later call
mvpp2_bm_switch_buffers(priv, true) without this check, which can
lead to an out-of-bounds access in the priv->page_pool array in
mvpp2_bm_init(). The array is sized to hold MVPP2_PORT_MAX_RXQ
entries, and mvpp2_get_nrxqs() may return exactly that value. The
per-CPU scheme then doubles it to nrxqs * 2, exceeding the array
bounds.
Check that the hardware version is MVPP22 or newer and that the
number of pools (nrxqs * 2) does not exceed MVPP2_BM_MAX_POOLS
before switching to per-CPU mode.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
