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.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.19 < 5.10.253) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.203) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.167) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.130) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.77) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.17) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.7) • linux linux kernel 7.0
