CVE-2023-54257 net: macb: fix a memory corruption in extended buffer descriptor mode
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: macb: fix a memory corruption in extended buffer descriptor mode

For quite some time we were chasing a bug which looked like a sudden
permanent failure of networking and mmc on some of our devices.
The bug was very sensitive to any software changes and even more to
any kernel debug options.

Finally we got a setup where the problem was reproducible with
CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y and it revealed the issue with the rx dma:
