If the\ntransport data is shorter than the minimum transport header required\nby the hardware parser, pad the transport data to the minimum\ntransport header length required by the hardware parser. Packets that\nalso match the hardware PTP parsing conditions continue to follow the\ncorresponding workaround.\n\nFor IPv6 fragmented packets, neither of the above hardware issues\noccurs because the hardware only continues packet parsing when the\nIPv6 Base Header Next Header field directly indicates UDP. Packets\ncarrying a Fragment Header do not continue through the subsequent\npacket parsing stages.\n\nFor packets identified for hardware PTP parsing, pad the transport\ndata so it reaches RTASE_MIN_PAD_LEN before transmission."}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/rtase/rtase.h", "drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/rtase/rtase_main.c"], "versions": [{"version": "d6e882b89fdf80be0ab4f914ec10f75215e49495", "lessThan": "fe3a7320711eec6537e4890892f7ab9776d8618f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "d6e882b89fdf80be0ab4f914ec10f75215e49495", "lessThan": "4a4f3aa6af205bee539b5670afa2cd4e4953750e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "d6e882b89fdf80be0ab4f914ec10f75215e49495", "lessThan": "0f54f5048615e4e2802697855ea6374613548301", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "d6e882b89fdf80be0ab4f914ec10f75215e49495", "lessThan": "1c50efa1faf3a1a96e100b07ec7a2f3164d90bee", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/rtase/rtase.h", "drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/rtase/rtase_main.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.12", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.12", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.101", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.42", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2-rc5", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.101"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.42"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.6"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2-rc5"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fe3a7320711eec6537e4890892f7ab9776d8618f"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4a4f3aa6af205bee539b5670afa2cd4e4953750e"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0f54f5048615e4e2802697855ea6374613548301"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1c50efa1faf3a1a96e100b07ec7a2f3164d90bee"}], "title": "rtase: Workaround for TX hang caused by hardware packet parsing", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
