Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: dev: can_restart: fix use after free bug
After calling netif_rx_ni(skb), dereferencing skb is unsafe.
Especially, the can_frame cf which aliases skb memory is accessed
after the netif_rx_ni() in:
stats->rx_bytes += cf->len;
Reordering the lines solves the issue.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.31 < 4.4.254)
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.5 < 4.9.254)
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.10 < 4.14.218)
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.15 < 4.19.171)
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.93)
