Technical description

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

can: isotp: fix potential CAN frame reception race in isotp_rcv()

concurrently receiving processes which do not show up in real world

usage.

The following syz problem is one of the scenarios. so->rx.len is

changed by isotp_rcv_ff() during isotp_rcv_cf(), so->rx.len equals

0 before alloc_skb() and equals 4096 after alloc_skb(). That will

trigger skb_over_panic() in skb_put().
