Summary
net: ti: icssg-prueth: fix missing data copy and wrong recycle in ZC RX dispatch
Details

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

net: ti: icssg-prueth: fix missing data copy and wrong recycle in ZC RX dispatch

emac_dispatch_skb_zc() allocates a new skb via napi_alloc_skb() but never copies the packet data from the XDP buffer into it. The skb is passed up the stack containing uninitialized heap memory instead of the actual received packet, leaking kernel heap contents to userspace.

Copy the received packet data from the XDP buffer into the skb using skb_copy_to_linear_data().

Additionally, remove the skb_mark_for_recycle() call since the skb is backed by the NAPI page frag allocator, not page_pool. Marking a non-page_pool skb for recycle causes the free path to return pages to a page_pool that does not own them, corrupting page_pool state.

The non-ZC path (emac_rx_packet) does not have these issues because it uses napi_build_skb() to wrap the existing page_pool page directly, requiring no copy, and correctly marks for recycle since the page comes from page_pool_dev_alloc_pages().
