Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's bonding driver. This vulnerability allows a local user to cause a kernel crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS), by attempting to enslave a virtual Controller Area Network (CAN) device to a bonding master. The bonding driver, designed for Ethernet-like devices, does not properly handle CAN devices, resulting in a null-pointer dereference during subsequent network operations.
