CVE-2024-46861 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usbnet: ipheth: do not stop RX on failing RX callback RX callbacks can fail for multiple reasons: * Payload too short * Payload formatted incorrecly (e.g. bad NCM framing) * Lack of memory None of these should cause the driver to seize up. Make such failures non-critical and continue processing further incoming URBs.. EPSS estimates a 0.20% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
