CVE-2019-3701

An issue was discovered in can_can_gw_rcv() in the net/can/gw.c in the Linux kernel. The CAN driver may write arbitrary content beyond the data registers in the CAN controller’s I/O memory when processing can-gw manipulated outgoing frames because of a missing check. A local user with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability granted in the initial namespace can exploit this vulnerability to cause a system crash and thus a denial of service (DoS).
