Looking at the code, I think this is the problem:

static int ethtool_rxnfc_copy_to_user(void __user *useraddr,
				      const struct ethtool_rxnfc *rxnfc,
				      size_t size, const u32 *rule_buf)
{
...
		ret = copy_to_user(useraddr, &rxnfc, size);
...
}

This was introduced in mainline commit dd98d2895de6 ("ethtool: improve
compat ioctl handling"), backported into 5.14.6 stable. Unlike info
variable in the original code, rxnfc is a pointer, not the structure, so
that second parameter to copy_to_user() should be "rxnfc", not "&rxnfc".

This was already fixed in 5.15-rc1 by commit 9b29a161ef38 ("ethtool: Fix
rxnfc copy to user buffer overflow") which provides correct Fixes tag
(and both in fact reached mainline in the same merge) so that it's
rather surprising that the original commit got into stable-5.14.y
without the follow-up fix.
