CVE-2026-98233

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

net/packet: clear RX owner on VNET header error

Commit 61fad6816fc1 ("net/packet: tpacket rcv: avoid a producer race condition") added rx owner map and made tpacket rcv() claim a V1 or V2 ring slot before converting the virtio-net header. If the conversion fails, the drop path leaves the slot claimed.

With a one-frame TPACKET V2 ring, an unsupported UDP GSO packet leaves the only slot unavailable, so the ring also drops the next valid packet.

Clear the ownership bit on this error path. TPACKET V3 already clears its block state here.
