Subject: [PATCH 1/1] can: restore skb header initialisations in init_can_skb()
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 14:37:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917063744.591-1-ndaugoing@gmail.com> (raw)
Commit 9f10374bb024 ("can: remove private CAN skb headroom infrastructure")
removed the skb_reset_mac_header()/skb_reset_network_header()/
skb_reset_transport_header() calls from init_can_skb(). As a result, RX
skbs from alloc_can_skb() and friends again carry mac_header = 0xFFFF.
When such an skb reaches packet_rcv_spkt() (SOCK_PACKET), the push length
calculation overflows and triggers skb_under_panic -> kernel BUG -> full
machine panic.
The same issue was originally reported in 2014 on linux-can and fixed by
commit 969439016d2c ("can: add missing initialisations in CAN related
skbuffs"). packet_rcv_spkt() itself has never been hardened: only
packet_rcv() and tpacket_rcv() gained dev_has_header() checks in
commit d549699048b4 ("net/packet: fix packet receive on L3 devices
without visible hard header").
Fixes: 9f10374bb024 ("can: remove private CAN skb headroom infrastructure")
