In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: atl1c:
Work around the DMA RX overflow issue This is based on alx driver commit
881d0327db37 (“net: alx: Work around the DMA RX overflow issue”). The alx
and atl1c drivers had RX overflow error which was why a custom allocator
was created to avoid certain addresses. The simpler workaround then created
for alx driver, but not for atl1c due to lack of tester. Instead of using a
custom allocator, check the allocated skb address and use skb_reserve() to
move away from problematic 0x…fc0 address. Tested on AR8131 on Acer 4540.
