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 watchdog. RTR-mode ops are excluded via RX_RTR_FRAME,
independent of kt_ival1/kt_ival2, since those may briefly hold a
stale value from an earlier non-RTR configuration.
The claim is released in bcm_notify() on NETDEV_UNREGISTER and in
bcm_rx_setup() when SETTIMER reconfigures the timer values.
A (re-)claim is only possible on CAN devices in NETREG_REGISTERED
dev->reg_state to cover the release in bcm_notify() where reg_state
becomes NETREG_UNREGISTERING until synchronize_net().
