Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
caif: fix integer underflow in cffrml_receive()
The cffrml_receive() function extracts a length field from the packet
header and, when FCS is disabled, subtracts 2 from this length without
validating that len >= 2.
If an attacker sends a malicious packet with a length field of 0 or 1
to an interface with FCS disabled, the subtraction causes an integer
underflow.
This can lead to memory exhaustion and kernel instability, pote…
