From: Vincent Mailhol <mailhol@kernel.org> Sending a PF_PACKET bypasses the CAN framework logic and can directly reach a CAN driver's xmit() function. The PF_PACKET framework only checks that skb->len does not exceed the net_device MTU. For a CAN device that is not CAN XL capable, anything above CANFD_MTU (72 bytes) is therefore dropped before it reaches the driver. However, CAN XL frames are variable length. can_is_canxl_skb() accepts lengths in the range CANXL_HDR_SIZE + CANXL_MIN_DLEN up to CANXL_MTU, i.e. 13 to 2060 bytes. As a result, an ETH_P_CANXL skb with a length between 13 and 72 bytes can pass both the MTU and the can_dropped_invalid_skb() checks. A driver that does not support CAN XL will interpret canxl_frame->flags as a length because of the overlap with can_frame->len. And because CANXL_XLF is set, the resulting length is between 128 and 255. For drivers that do not check can_frame->len before copying can_frame->data, as most drivers do, this results in a buffer overflow of up to 247 bytes. Drop ETH_P_CANXL skbs if the device does not have the CAN_CAP_XL capability. Keep can_is_canxl_skb() for the validation of CAN XL skbs.
