CVE-2026-72115

/// Technical description

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

can: bcm: track a single source interface for ANYDEV timeout/throttle ops

An ANYDEV rx op (ifindex == 0) with an active RX timeout and/or

throttle timer has no defined semantics when matching frames arrive

from several interfaces: bcm_rx_handler() can run concurrently for

the same op on different CPUs, racing hrtimer_cancel()/

bcm_rx_starttimer() against bcm_rx_timeout_handler() and causing

spurious RX_TIMEOUT notifications and last_frames corruption. The

same concurrency lets throttled multiplex frames from different

interfaces clobber the single rx_ifindex/rx_stamp fields shared by

the op.

Add op->if_detected to track the first interface that delivers a

matching frame while a timeout/throttle timer is configured, and

reject frames from any other interface for that op. The claim is

decided in bcm_rx_handler() before hrtimer_cancel() touches

op->timer, so a rejected frame can never disturb the claimed

interface's wa
