Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Linux Kernel up to 4.19.13 (Operating System). Affected is the function can_can_gw_rcv of the file net/can/gw.c of the component CAN Frame Handler. The manipulation of the argument can_dlc with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds write vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-787. The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

An issue was discovered in can_can_gw_rcv in net/can/gw.c in the Linux kernel through 4.19.13. The CAN frame modification rules allow bitwise logical operations that can be also applied to the can_dlc field. Because of a missing check, the CAN drivers may write arbitrary content beyond the data registers in the CAN controller's I/O memory when processing can-gw manipulated outgoing frames. This is related to cgw_csum_xor_rel. An unprivileged user can trigger a system crash (general protection fault).
