CVE-2026-23362

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Controller Area Network (CAN) Broadcast Manager (BCM) module. When the RX_RTR_FRAME flag is set and a specific Remote Transmission Request (RTR) frame is received, the bcm_tx_lock was not properly initialized in the bcm_rx_setup() function. This missing initialization of the lock could lead to a race condition, potentially allowing a local attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by triggering system instability.

This flaw affects systems using CAN bus with the BCM (Broadcast Manager) socket. The missing spin_lock_init() for bcm_tx_lock in bcm_rx_setup() causes issues when RX_RTR_FRAME is used, as bcm_can_tx() accesses the uninitialized lock. Requires CAN interface and BCM socket usage with RTR frames.
