CVE-2026-43283 | net: ethernet: ec_bhf: Fix dma_free_coherent() dma handle

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ethernet: ec_bhf: Fix dma_free_coherent() dma handle dma_free_coherent() in error path takes priv->rx_buf.alloc_len as the dma handle. This would lead to improper unmapping of the buffer. Change the dma handle to priv->rx_buf.alloc_phys.

Base score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Impact Score source
8.8 3.1 HIGH
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:L)
They already need access on the box, or another person has to do something wrong; it’s not a remote drive-by.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:C)
Breaking this can reach past the original component and bite other resources—bigger blast radius.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
