CVE-2024-26907 affects the Linux kernel RDMA mlx5 driver. In mlx5_ib_post_send(), construction of an Ethernet work-queue element copies an Ethernet segment through the inline-header member, whose declared field size is smaller than the complete Ethernet segment being copied. Although the copy is intended to span adjacent members of the containing segment structure, FORTIFY_SOURCE identifies it as a field-spanning write and emits a kernel warning. The upstream fix changes the access pattern so that the complete Ethernet segment is addressed appropriately and does not trigger the fortified memcpy bounds check.
