CVE-2026-97982CVE-2026-97982
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: cortina: Fix budget accounting
The gmac_rx() function returns the remaining NAPI budget, but its
caller treats the return value as the number of packets received. An
idle poll therefore reports a full budget and remains scheduled.
Return the number of received packets instead. Preserve the existing
free queue refill accounting by adding that count directly; continuing
to subtract it from the budget would invert the refill behavior.
