Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-05-29 14:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 09:15
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: m_can: m_can_class_allocate_dev(): initialize spin lock on device probe
The spin lock tx_handling_spinlock in struct m_can_classdev is not
being initialized. This leads the following spinlock bad magic
complaint from the kernel, eg. when trying to send CAN frames with
cansend from can-utils:
| BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, cansend/95
| lock: 0xff60000002ec1010, .magic: 00000000, .owner: <none>/-1, .owner_cpu: 0

Initializing the spin lock in m_can_class_allocate_dev solves that
problem.
