Hello Shaurya,

many thanks that you picked up this KMSAN issue!

Use pskb_may_pull() to ensure the CAN ID is accessible in the linear
data buffer before reading it. A simple skb->len check is insufficient
because it only verifies the total data length but does not guarantee
the data is present in skb->data (it could be in fragments).

pskb_may_pull() both validates the length and pulls fragmented data
into the linear buffer if necessary, making it safe to directly
access skb->data.

The EM CANID handles struct CAN frames in skb->data.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/include/uapi/linux/can.h#n221

The smallest type of CAN frame that can be properly handled with EM 
CANID is a Classical CAN frame which has a length of 16 bytes.

Therefore I would suggest

	if (!pskb_may_pull(skb, CAN_MTU))

instead of only checking for the first element in struct can_frame.

Many thanks and best regards,
Oliver
