CVE-2026-23298

ADVISORY - nist

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

can: ucan: Fix infinite loop from zero-length messages

If a broken ucan device gets a message with the message length field set to 0, then the driver will loop for forever in ucan_read_bulk_callback(), hanging the system. If the length is 0, just skip the message and go on to the next one.

This has been fixed in the kvaser_usb driver in the past in commit 0c73772cd2b8 ("can: kvaser_usb: leaf: Fix potential infinite loop in command parsers"), so there must be some broken devices out there like this somewhere.
