Recommendation: Monitor — no exploitation signal at the moment.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usbnet: ipheth: do not stop RX on failing RX callback
RX callbacks can fail for multiple reasons:
* Payload too short
* Payload formatted incorrecly (e.g. bad NCM framing)
* Lack of memory
None of these should cause the driver to seize up.
Make such failures non-critical and continue processing further
incoming URBs.
