It iterates num_bufs times and attempts to unmap\nentries in the dma array.\n\nThis leads to two issues:\n1. The dma array shares storage with tx_qpl_buf_ids (union).\n Interpreting buffer IDs as DMA addresses results in attempting to\n unmap incorrect memory locations.\n2. num_bufs in QPL mode (counting 2K chunks) can significantly exceed\n the size of the dma array, causing out-of-bounds access warnings\n(trace below is how we noticed this issue).\n\nUBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in\ndrivers/net/ethernet/drivers/net/ethernet/google/gve/gve_tx_dqo.c:178:5 index 18 is out of\nrange for type 'dma_addr_t[18]' (aka 'unsigned long long[18]')\nWorkqueue: gve gve_service_task [gve]\nCall Trace:\n<TASK>\ndump_stack_lvl+0x33/0xa0\n__ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds+0xdc/0x110\ngve_tx_stop_ring_dqo+0x182/0x200 [gve]\ngve_close+0x1be/0x450 [gve]\ngve_reset+0x99/0x120 [gve]\ngve_service_task+0x61/0x100 [gve]\nprocess_scheduled_works+0x1e9/0x380\n\nFix this by properly checking for QPL mode and delegating to\ngve_free_tx_qpl_bufs() to reclaim the buffers.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/07e0c80e17ef781799e7cd5c41a7bf44f1bf6a5f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3744ebd8ffaa542ae8110fb449adcac0202f4cc8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/71511dae56a75ce161aa746741e5c498feaea393","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c171f90f58974c784db25e0606051541cb71b7f0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fb868db5f4bccd7a78219313ab2917429f715cea"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:28:18.033120106+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-23386","score":0.00123,"percentile":0.02068,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
