Description

net/can/bcm.c in the Linux kernel through 5.12.10 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack memory because parts of a data structure are uninitialized.
The canbus filesystem in the Linux kernel contains an information leak of kernel memory to devices on the CAN bus network link layer. An attacker with the ability to dump messages on the CAN bus is able to learn of uninitialized stack values by dumbing messages on the can bus.
