Subject: CVE-2024-49997: net: ethernet: lantiq_etop: fix memory disclosure
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: lantiq_etop: fix memory disclosure
When applying padding, the buffer is not zeroed, which results in memory
disclosure. The mentioned data is observed on the wire. This patch uses
skb_put_padto() to pad Ethernet frames properly. The mentioned function
zeroes the expanded buffer.
In case the packet cannot be padded it is silently dropped. Statistics
are also not incremented. This driver does not support statistics in the
old 32-bit format or the new 64-bit format. These will be added in the
future. In its current form, the patch should be easily backported to
stable versions.
Ethernet MACs on Amazon-SE and Danube cannot do padding of the packets
in hardware, so software padding must be applied.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-49997 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
