Subject: [PATCH net 01/14] can: dev: can_dropped_invalid_skb: drop CAN XL frames on non-CAN XL devices
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 14:02:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826121036.2706424-2-mkl@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826121036.2706424-1-mkl@pengutronix.de>
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.
