CVE-2024-35958 is an incorrect resource-release vulnerability in the Linux kernel Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) driver. ENA maintains separate transmit queues for ordinary network-stack traffic and XDP-directed traffic produced through XDP_TX or XDP_REDIRECT. During cleanup of unacknowledged transmit transactions, ena_free_tx_bufs() incorrectly assumes that all queues contain network-stack packets and uses network-stack skb disposal handling for descriptors belonging to XDP-specific queues. This causes XDP transmit descriptors to be released incorrectly, particularly when a virtual function is reset.
