CVE-2026-10673: Out-of-bounds write in ADIN2111/ADIN1110 OA SPI Ethernet RX frame reassembly
The Zephyr ADIN2111/ADIN1110 10BASE-T1S/T1L Ethernet driver (drivers/ethernet/ethadin2111.c) reassembles received Ethernet frames in OPEN Alliance (OA) SPI mode by copying device-supplied 64-byte data chunks into a fixed static buffer ctx->buf of size CONFIGETHADIN2111BUFFERSIZE (default 1524 bytes). In ethadin2111oadataread(), each valid chunk was memcpy'd into ctx->buf[ctx->scur] and the write cursor scur advanced, with no check that scur + len stayed within the buffer. The number of chunks (up to 255, from the BUFSTS RCA field) and the per-chunk length are taken entirely from the frame data received off the wire; the cursor is only reset on a start-of-frame chunk. An attacker on the single-pair Ethernet segment can therefore send a frame whose reassembled size exceeds the configured buffer, causing the driver's RX offload thread to write attacker-controlled frame bytes past the end of the static buffer into adjacent driver/kernel memory (up to roughly 14.8 KB in the worst case). This is a remotely/adjacently reachable out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) that can corrupt memory and cause denial of service or potentially code execution. The defect was introduced when OA SPI support was added (commit 0ca8b0756b1) and shipped in releases v3.7.0 through v4.4.0. The fix adds a bounds check that drops the oversized frame and resets the cursor before the copy.

Zephyr drivers/ethernet/eth_adin2111.c (ADIN2111/ADIN1110 OA SPI Ethernet RX)to a version that resolves this vulnerability.Fixed in v3.7.0 through v4.4.0 - Configuration
Update the OA SPI RX frame reassembly code to add a bounds check so that copying 64-byte chunks into the fixed buffer ctx->buf (size CONFIG_ETH_ADIN2111_BUFFER_SIZE, default 1524 bytes) only occurs when scur + len is within bounds; if oversized, drop the frame and reset the cursor before the copy. The fix resets the cursor when the start-of-frame chunk is received and drops frames when reassembled size exceeds CONFIG_ETH_ADIN2111_BUFFER_SIZE.
