In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bcmasp: clear txcb->last before writing each descriptor
bcmasp_xmit() only wrote txcb->last = true for the final fragment
of an SKB; non-final fragments left the field untouched. If a
descriptor slot was reused while it still held a stale true from
a previous SKB (possible when tx_spb_ring_full() underreported
fullness), bcmasp_tx_reclaim() would see last == true mid-SKB and
call dev_consume_skb_any() prematurely, freeing the sk_buff while
its remaining fragments were still in flight.
Unconditionally clear txcb->last before the conditional set so every
descriptor slot starts from a known false state regardless of what a
prior transmission left behind.
