Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-08-15 06:21 - Updated: 2026-08-17 06:18
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: isotp: use unconditional synchronize_rcu() in isotp_release()
isotp_notify() unregisters the (RCU) CAN filters via can_rx_unregister()
and clears so->bound without waiting for a grace period. isotp_release()
uses so->bound to decide whether it needs to call synchronize_rcu()
before cancelling so->rxtimer, so when NETDEV_UNREGISTER runs first it
skips that synchronize_rcu() and can cancel the timer while an
in-flight isotp_rcv() is still executing and about to re-arm it via
isotp_send_fc(), leading to a use-after-free timer callback on the
freed socket.
sakisho-bot remarked a problem with rtnl_lock held in isotp_notify(),
therefore make isotp_release() always call synchronize_rcu() before
cancelling the timers, regardless of so->bound. This still closes the
original race (isotp_notify() clearing so->bound without waiting for
in-flight isotp_rcv() callers before isotp_release() cancels the RX
timer) without adding any RCU wait to the netdevice notifier path.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
