The ETHTOOL_SETEEPROM ioctl copies user data into a kmalloc'ed buffer without validating eeprom->len and eeprom->offset. A CAP_NET_ADMIN user can overflow the heap and crash the kernel or gain code execution. Validate length and offset before kmalloc() to avoid leaking eeprom_buff.

That look like a white space change, which should not be part of a fix. Please also take a read of https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainer-netdev.html You need to set the tree in the Subject line. Andrew --- pw-bot: cr
