patch available.
- can: isotp: fix use-after-free race with concurrent NETDEV_UNREGISTER isotp_release() looked up the bound
network device via dev_get_by_index() using the stored ifindex. During device unregistration the device is
unlisted from the ifindex hash before the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier chain runs, so a concurrent
isotp_release() could find no device, skip can_rx_unregister() entirely, and still proceed to free the
socket. Since isotp_release() had already removed itself from the isotp notifier list at that point,
isotp_notify() would never get a chance to clean up either, leaving a stale CAN filter that keeps pointing
at the freed socket. Fix this the same way raw.c already does: hold a tracked reference to the bound
net_device in the socket (so->dev/so->dev_tracker) from bind() onward instead of re-resolving it from the
ifindex, and serialize bind()/release() with rtnl_lock() so that so->dev is always consistent with what
the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier sees. so->dev stays valid regardless of ifindex-hash unlisting, and is only
ever cleared by whichever of isotp_release()/isotp_notify() gets there first, so the filter is always
removed exactly once. isotp_bind() now rejects a (re)bind with -EAGAIN while so->[tx|rx].state isn't
ISOTP_IDLE yet, so a timer left running by a prior NETDEV_UNREGISTER can't act on a newly bound
so->ifindex. Both checks share the same lock_sock() section, so there is no window in which a concurrent
isotp_notify() clearing so->bound could be missed. (CVE-2026-72125)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
