Description

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

can: af_can: fix NULL pointer dereference in can_rx_register()

It causes NULL pointer dereference when testing as following:
(a) use syscall(__NR_socket, 0x10ul, 3ul, 0) to create netlink socket.
(b) use syscall(__NR_sendmsg, ...) to create bond link device and vxcan
link device, and bind vxcan device to bond device (can also use
ifenslave command to bind vxcan device to bond device).
(c) use syscall(__NR_socket, 0x1dul, 3ul, 1) to create CAN socket.
(d) use syscall(__NR_bind, ...) to bind the bond device to CAN socket.

The bond device invokes the can-raw protocol registration interface to
receive CAN packets. However, ml_priv is not allocated to the dev,
dev_rcv_lists is assigned to NULL in can_rx_register(). In this case,
it will occur the NULL pointer dereference issue.

The following is the stack information:
