Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
can: j1939: j1939_tp_tx_dat_new(): fix out-of-bounds memory access<br />
<br />
In the j1939_tp_tx_dat_new() function, an out-of-bounds memory access<br />
could occur during the memcpy() operation if the size of skb->cb is<br />
larger than the size of struct j1939_sk_buff_cb. This is because the<br />
memcpy() operation uses the size of skb->cb, leading to a read beyond<br />
the struct j1939_sk_buff_cb.<br />
<br />
Updated the memcpy() operation to use the size of struct<br />
j1939_sk_buff_cb instead of the size of skb->cb. This ensures that the<br />
memcpy() operation only reads the memory within the bounds of struct<br />
j1939_sk_buff_cb, preventing out-of-bounds memory access.<br />
<br />
Additionally, add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to check that the size of skb->cb<br />
is greater than or equal to the size of struct j1939_sk_buff_cb. This<br />
ensures that the skb->cb buffer is large enough to hold the<br />
j1939_sk_buff_cb structure.<br />
<br />
