This is incorrect since the\ndpaa2_switch_free_fd() is intended to be used on Tx frame descriptors,\nmeaning that it expects in the software annotation area of the FD data\nto find a valid skb pointer on which to call dev_kfree_skb().\n\nFix this by extracting the dma_unmap_page() from\ndpaa2_switch_build_linear_skb() directly into the dpaa2_switch_rx()\nfunction. This allows us to directly use free_pages() in case of an\nerror before an SKB was created and kfree_skb() afterwards.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `Linux >= 613c0a5810b79610db8535c3816b0c149675f8ee < 791068c962469af0090e1a1ee63657fb9eef40db`\n- `Linux >= 613c0a5810b79610db8535c3816b0c149675f8ee < ee54f8d7e642c44cfcc2dcb390b4c50e145d81b8`\n- `Linux >= 613c0a5810b79610db8535c3816b0c149675f8ee < 259ad6093204b999d41e7e6d0ad90ef9a71a44ab`\n- `Linux >= 613c0a5810b79610db8535c3816b0c149675f8ee < f4ceb8e3d6d5becb4cda7a7098a8638e18c835a1`\n- `Linux >= 613c0a5810b79610db8535c3816b0c149675f8ee < fa232b4496cb59503ae5108c756cbe10e59b0bc3`\n- `Linux >= 613c0a5810b79610db8535c3816b0c149675f8ee < 74c1c9f5c0c30bbd0c2cf87b6e3507e7ea46c13d`\n- `Linux 5.13`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"twilight","depthScore":41,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":41.3,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[{"seq":228912,"id":"CVE-2026-98911","ts":1792854107570,"field":"cvss","old":null,"new":"7.5"},{"seq":228911,"id":"CVE-2026-98911","ts":1792854107570,"field":"severity","old":"none","new":"high"}]}
