[PATCH v4 1/3] can: dev: can_restart: fix use after free bug

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

Fixes: 39549eef3587 ("can: CAN Network device driver and Netlink interface")
