      <title>CVE-2024-53138 — net/mlx5e: kTLS, Fix incorrect page refcounting</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-53138</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;net/mlx5e: kTLS, Fix incorrect page refcounting&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The kTLS tx handling code is using a mix of get_page() and
page_ref_inc() APIs to increment the page reference. But on the release
path (mlx5e_ktls_tx_handle_resync_dump_comp()), only put_page() is used.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is an issue when using pages from large folios: the get_page()
references are stored on the folio page while the page_ref_inc()
references are stored directly in the given page. On release the folio
page will be dereferenced too many times.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was found while doing kTLS testing with sendfile() + ZC when the
served file was read from NFS on a kernel with NFS large folios support
(commit 49b29a573da8 (&amp;#34;nfs: add support for large folios&amp;#34;)).&lt;/p&gt;</description>
