During the handling of CAN bus errors, a CAN error SKB is allocated
using alloc_can_err_skb(). Even if the allocation of the SKB fails,
the function continues in order to do the stats handling.
All access to the can_frame pointer (cf) should be guarded by an if
statement:
if (cf)
However, the increment of the rx_bytes stats:
netdev->stats.rx_bytes += cf->can_dlc;
dereferences the cf pointer and was not guarded by an if condition
leading to a NULL pointer dereference if the can_err_skb() function
failed.
Replacing the cf->can_dlc by the macro CAN_ERR_DLC (which is the
length of any CAN error frames) solves this NULL pointer dereference.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
