CVE-2026-31501

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

net: ti: icssg-prueth: fix use-after-free of CPPI descriptor in RX path

cppi5hdescgetpsdata() returns a pointer into the CPPI descriptor. In both emacrxpacket() and emacrxpacketzc(), the descriptor is freed via k3cppidescpoolfree() before the psdata pointer is used by emacrxtimestamp(), which dereferences psdata[0] and psdata[1]. This constitutes a use-after-free on every received packet that goes through the timestamp path.

Defer the descriptor free until after all accesses through the psdata pointer are complete. For emacrxpacket(), move the free into the requeue label so both early-exit and success paths free the descriptor after all accesses are done. For emacrxpacketzc(), move the free to the end of the loop body after emacdispatchskbzc() (which calls emacrxtimestamp()) has returned.
