Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] can: dev: can_dropped_invalid_skb: drop CAN XL frames on non-CAN XL devices
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 20:05:39 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113010504.443628-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109201311-failed-6.6-0fce44e29fce@kernel.org>

From: Vincent Mailhol <mailhol@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 0fce44e29fce4b07642491b098afb41bd571e4f2 ]

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.
