Linux Kernel af_can.c Denial of Service Vulnerability

Linux kernel is the kernel used by Linux, the open source operating system of the Linux Foundation in the United States. A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Linux Kernel that stems from a null pointer dereference issue found in the CAN protocol in net/can/af_can.c. ml_priv may not be initialized in the receive path of CAN frames, which could be exploited by an attacker to cause the system to crash or result in a denial of service.
