Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

igc: set tx buffer type for SMD frames

Sashiko pointed out that igc_fpe_init_smd_frame() initializes
igc_tx_buffer fields for an SMD skb, but does not set the buffer type:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260415025226.114115-1-kohei%40enjuk.jp

Since igc_tx_buffer entries are reused, a stale XDP or XSK type can
remain and make TX completion use the wrong cleanup path.

Set the buffer type to IGC_TX_BUFFER_TYPE_SKB.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64035 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:
