fec_enet_txq_submit_frag_skb() and fec_enet_txq_submit_skb() copy
transmit data into a per-ring bounce buffer when the source address is
misaligned or the FEC_QUIRK_SWAP_FRAME quirk is active. The bounce
buffers are allocated as kmalloc(FEC_ENET_TX_FRSIZE) where
FEC_ENET_TX_FRSIZE is 2048 bytes.
However, skb_frag_size() can return up to PAGE_SIZE (4096 on most
architectures) for scatter-gather fragments, and skb_headlen() can
exceed 2048 for certain GSO packets. When this happens the memcpy
overflows the bounce buffer by up to 2048 bytes, corrupting adjacent
heap objects.
Add a length check before each bounce-buffer copy. If the data exceeds
the bounce buffer capacity, fall through to the error path rather than
performing the out-of-bounds write.
Fixes: 6605b730c061 ("FEC: Add alignment handling for FEC driver")

- [Low] net: fec: undefined label 'release' causes build failure

net: fec: reject oversized fragments before bounce-buffer memcpy
This commit adds bounds checks before copying transmit data into the per-ring
bounce buffer to prevent memory corruption when fragment sizes exceed the
buffer capacity.

[Severity: Low]
Does this code introduce a build failure? The label release appears to be
undefined in fec_enet_txq_submit_skb(), which causes compilation to fail
with an undefined label error.
