Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-15 06:11:21 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

can: bcm: extend bcm_tx_lock usage for data and timer updates

Stage new CAN frame content for an existing tx op into a kmalloc()'d
buffer and validate it there, mirroring the approach already used in
bcm_rx_setup(). Only copy the validated data into op->frames while
holding op->bcm_tx_lock, so bcm_can_tx() and bcm_tx_timeout_handler()
can no longer observe a partially updated or unvalidated frame.

Add a missing error path for memcpy_from_msg() when copying CAN frame
data from userspace.

Also move the kt_ival1/kt_ival2/ival1/ival2 updates in bcm_tx_setup()
under op->bcm_tx_lock, and read kt_ival1/kt_ival2/count under the same
lock in bcm_tx_set_expiry() and bcm_tx_timeout_handler(), closing the
torn 64-bit ktime_t read on 32-bit platforms.
