Overview

CVE-2026-80889 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 4, 2026.

Technical description

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

can: isotp: fix timer drain order, wakeup handling and tx_gen ordering

This patch is a follow-up to commit cf070fe33bfb ("can: isotp: serialize

TX state transitions under so->rx_lock") which addresses following

sashiko-bot findings:

- isotp_sendmsg(): drain so->txfrtimer first so a stale callback can't

re-arm echotimer after the claim

- isotp_release(): wake so->wait after forcing ISOTP_SHUTDOWN so a

sleeping sendmsg() claim isn't stranded

- isotp_sendmsg(): have both wait_event_interruptible() calls in

isotp_sendmsg() also wake on ISOTP_SHUTDOWN and do not return claim to

IDLE to avoid corrupting a concurrent isotp_release() process.

- isotp_sendmsg(): handle potential claim of a new transfer when

the wait_event_interruptible() call returns in CAN_ISOTP_WAIT_TX_DONE

mode. Don't touch timers and states of the new transfer if a new thread

incremented so->tx_gen before getting the lock at err_event_dr
