In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: cdc-phonet: fix skb frags[] overflow in rx_complete()
A malicious USB device claiming to be a CDC Phonet modem can overflow
the skb_shared_info->frags[] array by sending an unbounded sequence of
full-page bulk transfers.
Drop the skb and increment the length error when the frag limit is
reached. This matches the same fix that commit f0813bcd2d9d ("net:
wwan: t7xx: fix potential skb->frags overflow in RX path") did for the
t7xx driver.
