CVE-2026-74285CVE-2026-74285

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: Stop leased rxq before uninstalling its memory provider netif_rxq_cleanup_unlease() tears down the memory provider that was installed on a physical RX queue through a netkit queue lease. It currently revokes the provider's DMA mappings before stopping the physical queue: __netif_mp_uninstall_rxq(virt_rxq, p); /* DMA unmap */ __netif_mp_close_rxq(phys_rxq->dev, rxq_idx, p); /* queue stop */ This inverts the ordering used by the regular teardown paths (normal device unregister and the io_uring zcrx close path), which stop the queue before revoking the provider's mappings. With the physical queue still live, its NAPI can keep consuming net_iov entries from the page_pool alloc cache after the __netif_mp_uninstall_rxq() has already cleared their dma_addr, opening a window for the device to DMA to a stale or zero address. Fix it by swapping the two calls so the queue is stopped (and its NAPI quiesc
