Kernel crash via unsynchronized ISO-TP receive state
Published Jul 16, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
A receive race in the Linux kernel allows attackers to crash the system by sending concurrent CAN ISO-TP first and consecutive frames. In isotp_rcv(), isotp_rcv_ff() changes so->rx.len while isotp_rcv_cf() allocates and extends an skb from inconsistent length values, triggering skb_over_panic(). A bound ISO-TP socket, an active CAN interface, and access to the same CAN bus are required; the disclosed outcome is a kernel panic.
