# CVE-2024-53138: linux: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: kTLS, Fix incorrect page refcounting... CVE-2024-53138 is fixed in 47 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2024-53138, released December 4, 2024. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-53138 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 5.5 (medium) - EPSS: 0.0055 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Dec 4, 2024 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: kTLS, Fix incorrect page refcounting 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. 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. 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 ("nfs: add support for large folios")). ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | bpftool amzn 2023 | 6.1.119-129.201.amzn2023 |
