Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: ucan: Fix infinite loop from zero-length messages
If a broken ucan device gets a message with the message length field set
to 0, then the driver will loop for forever in
ucan_read_bulk_callback(), hanging the system. If the length is 0, just
skip the message and go on to the next one.
This has been fixed in the kvaser_usb driver in the past in commit
0c73772cd2b8 ("can: kvaser_usb: leaf: Fix potential infinite loop in
command parsers"), so there must be some broken devices out there like
this somewhere.
