CVE-2026-98239

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

net: lan743x: fix RX checksum use-after-free

lan743x_rx_process_buffer() adds each non-first receive buffer to the
head skb's frag_list. On the last descriptor, lan743x_rx_trim_skb()
linearizes the head and frees the fragment skb metadata.

The checksum-success path then writes ip_summed through the local skb
pointer, which still points to the final fragment. This causes a
use-after-free write when a packet spans more than one receive buffer.

Set ip_summed on the surviving head skb instead. Multi-buffer receive
can occur after a live MTU increase because existing ring entries keep
their old buffer size until they are replenished.

A KUnit test invoking lan743x_rx_process_buffer() with a two-buffer
packet produced a one-byte KASAN use-after-free write before this change.
The same test passed after the change. The driver object also builds
with W=1. This was not tested on physical LAN743x hardware.
