commit 583e6361414903c5206258a30e5bd88cb03c0254 upstream. We always program the maximum DMA buffer size into the receive descriptor, although the allocated size may be less. E.g. with the default MTU size we allocate only 1536 bytes. If somebody sends us a bigger frame, then memory may get corrupted. Fix by using exact buffer sizes.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
