[Severity: Low]
Should the Fixes: tag point to d08e973a77d1 ("can: gs_usb: Added support
for the GS_USB CAN devices") instead of 26949ac935e3 ("can: gs_usb: add
CAN-FD support")?

Leaking uninitialized trailing bytes over USB when cf->len < 8 has been
present since d08e973a77d1 ("can: gs_usb: Added support for the GS_USB CAN
devices"), which allocated hf via usb_alloc_coherent() without __GFP_ZERO
and copied only cf->can_dlc bytes into the 8-byte hf->data array.  The
kmalloc() call modified here was later introduced in 62f102c0d156 ("can:
gs_usb: remove dma allocations").
