In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bcmgenet: keep RBUF EEE/PM disabled
Setting RBUF EEE EN | RBUF PM EN in RBUF ENERGY CTRL breaks the RX path on GENET hardware once MAC EEE becomes active. RX traffic stops flowing while the link stays up and the usual descriptor/RX error counters remain quiet. In that state the MAC still accepts frames (rbuf ovflow cnt keeps climbing) but RBUF no longer forwards them to DMA, so rx packets is no longer incremented at the netdev level. On some boards the corruption ends up as a paging fault in skb release data via bcmgenet rx poll on an LPI exit.
Reproduced on Pi 4B (BCM2711 + BCM54213PE) and confirmed by Florian Fainelli on an internal Broadcom 4908-family board with the same crash signature. RBUF PM EN is not publicly documented.
This shows up more often now that phy support eee() enables EEE by default, but it also affects older kernels as soon as TX LPI is turned on via ethtool, so it is not specific to recent changes.
Always clear RBUF EEE EN | RBUF PM EN in bcmgenet eee enable set so the bits stay off across resets. UMAC and TBUF setup is left alone so TX-side EEE keeps working.
