The missing validation is in bcm_rx_setup(), reached only via local PF_CAN SOCK_DGRAM CAN_BCM syscalls (socket/connect/sendmsg RX_SETUP with RX_RTR_FRAME); it is not triggered by remote IP services or by CAN bus traffic alone.\nAC:L - An attacker reliably installs a malformed RTR-reply frame with a single RX_SETUP sendmsg and can trigger bcm_can_tx() by sending or waiting for a matching RTR on the bound interface, with no races or layout dependencies beyond their control.\nPR:L - can_create(), bcm_connect(), and bcm_sendmsg() perform no capability checks; any local user with access to a CAN interface (including vcan created with CAP_NET_ADMIN in an unprivileged user namespace) can open BCM sockets and program RX_SETUP RTR replies.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only the attacker opening a BCM socket and sending RX_SETUP messages; no victim interaction such as mounting filesystems or opening files is needed once local CAN access exists.\nS:U - Impact is kernel memory corruption and unauthorized CAN frame transmission within the same host security domain; it does not cross VM, container, or IOMMU boundaries even when frames reach an adjacent vehicle or industrial CAN segment.\nC:H - Unvalidated cf->len values are stored in op->frames and later passed to bcm_can_tx()/can_send(); many CAN driver ndo_start_xmit paths memcpy(cf->data, cf->len) trusting len, enabling out-of-bounds kernel reads when invalid lengths bypass or race skb validation.\nI:H - Attacker-controlled len in the RTR-reply frame can drive out-of-bounds memcpy writes in CAN USB/SPI/hardware xmit paths and inject attacker-crafted frame payloads onto safety-critical automotive, factory, or embedded CAN buses when RTR requests are answered.\nA:H - Out-of-bounds accesses in CAN driver transmit paths from trusted-but-invalid len values can cause kernel WARN/Oops/panic on hardened builds, and repeated malformed RTR-reply transmission attempts can wedge TX queues or disrupt CAN service on affected systems."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/can/bcm.c"],"versions":[{"version":"ffd980f976e7fd666c2e61bf8ab35107efd11828","lessThan":"cc1f9569f1c1adf74fa69d6f716a31b58a2fc6ce","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ffd980f976e7fd666c2e61bf8ab35107efd11828","lessThan":"204f2b232717bc470ddb9e1da1d27dd9c6ef0caa","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ffd980f976e7fd666c2e61bf8ab35107efd11828","lessThan":"e061624c0a86c3c26a2bf017e432fbc93ad68f3a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ffd980f976e7fd666c2e61bf8ab35107efd11828","lessThan":"7d966cdee006911d3957e1a4e72cb93c39cd8c1e","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ffd980f976e7fd666c2e61bf8ab35107efd11828","lessThan":"1b475c0c72f44622a320a4386ce9e76f85e69bc7","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ffd980f976e7fd666c2e61bf8ab35107efd11828","lessThan":"deb6a697cce3f021e731df543597f37a5e54caab","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ffd980f976e7fd666c2e61bf8ab35107efd11828","lessThan":"59bfddea64159594feb62ef11b7d7a33c8ee3783","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ffd980f976e7fd666c2e61bf8ab35107efd11828","lessThan":"62ec41f364648be79d54d94d0d240ee326948afd","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/can/bcm.c"],"versions":[{"version":"2.6.25","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"2.6.25","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.265","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.216","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.183","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.148","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.101","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.42","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.5","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.25","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.265"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.25","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.216"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.25","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.183"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.25","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.148"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.25","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.101"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.25","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.42"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.25","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.5"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.25","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cc1f9569f1c1adf74fa69d6f716a31b58a2fc6ce"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/204f2b232717bc470ddb9e1da1d27dd9c6ef0caa"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e061624c0a86c3c26a2bf017e432fbc93ad68f3a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7d966cdee006911d3957e1a4e72cb93c39cd8c1e"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1b475c0c72f44622a320a4386ce9e76f85e69bc7"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/deb6a697cce3f021e731df543597f37a5e54caab"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/59bfddea64159594feb62ef11b7d7a33c8ee3783"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/62ec41f364648be79d54d94d0d240ee326948afd"}],"title":"can: bcm: validate frame length in bcm_rx_setup() for RTR replies","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
