The CAN frame modification rules allow bitwise logical operations which can be also applied to the can_dlc field. Ensure the manipulation result to maintain the can_dlc boundaries so that the CAN drivers do not accidently write arbitrary content beyond the data registers in the CAN controllers I/O mem when processing can-gw manipulated outgoing frames. When passing these frames to user space this issue did not have any effect to the kernel or any leaked data as we always strictly copy sizeof(struct can_frame) bytes.
