In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: Fix handling of dummy receive descriptors
Fix memory leak caused by not handling dummy receive descriptor properly. iavfgetrxbuffer now sets the rxbuffer return value for dummy receive descriptors. Without this patch, when the hardware writes a dummy descriptor, iavf would not free the page allocated for the previous receive buffer. This is an unlikely event but can still happen.
