From: Vincent Mailhol <mailhol.vincent@xxxxxxxxxx> During the handling of CAN bus errors, a CAN error SKB is allocated using alloc_can_err_skb(). Even if the allocation of the SKB fails, the function continues in order to do the stats handling. All access to the can_frame pointer (cf) should be guarded by an if statement: if (cf) However, the increment of the rx_bytes stats: netdev->stats.rx_bytes += cf->can_dlc; dereferences the cf pointer and was not guarded by an if condition leading to a NULL pointer dereference if the can_err_skb() function failed. Replacing the cf->can_dlc by the macro CAN_ERR_DLC (which is the length of any CAN error frames) solves this NULL pointer dereference.
