CVE-2021-47013 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net:emac/emac-mac: Fix a use after free in emac_mac_tx_buf_send

In emac_mac_tx_buf_send it calls emac_tx_fill_tpd(..skb..). If some error happens in emac_tx_fill_tpd() the skb will be freed via dev_kfree_skb(skb) in error branch of emac_tx_fill_tpd(). But the freed skb is still used via skb->len by netdev_sent_queue(skb->len).

As i observed that emac_tx_fill_tpd() haven’t modified the value of skb->len thus my patch assigns skb->len to ’len’ before the possible free and use ’len’ instead of skb->len later.
