Subject: [PATCH can-next v3 3/4] can: replace ARPHRD_CAN type checks with can_get_ml_priv()
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 09:42:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019074244.50391-4-socketcan@hartkopp.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019074244.50391-1-socketcan@hartkopp.net>

Commit 4e096a18867a ("net: introduce CAN specific pointer in the struct
net_device") introduced an explicit way to assign the midlayer private
pointer (dev->ml_priv) to named users like ML_PRIV_CAN. A valid pointer
returned by can_get_ml_priv() therefore identifies a real CAN device.

The referenced commit only converted the j1939 and proc code to this
check, while the other parts of the CAN subsystem still rely on
dev->type == ARPHRD_CAN.

The TUNSETLINK ioctl allows a down TUN/TAP device to set its hardware
type to ARPHRD_CAN while dev->ml_priv remains NULL. Such a repurposed
netdevice passes the ARPHRD_CAN checks and triggers a NULL pointer
dereference when CAN filters are created and when they are removed,
e.g. by the CAN protocols' netdevice notifier handlers. This only
requires owning a TUN/TAP device or CAP_NET_ADMIN in an unprivileged
user namespace.

Convert the remaining ARPHRD_CAN checks in af_can, bcm, gw, isotp and
raw to can_get_ml_priv().

Fixes: 4e096a18867a ("net: introduce CAN specific pointer in the struct net_device")
