Linux kernel CAN BCM integer overflow in net/can/bcm.c
CVE-2010-2959 is an integer overflow vulnerability in net/can/bcm.c in the Linux kernel Controller Area Network (CAN) Broadcast Manager (BCM) implementation. In vulnerable kernel versions (before 2.6.27.53; 2.6.32.x before 2.6.32.21; 2.6.34.x before 2.6.34.6; and 2.6.35.x before 2.6.35.4), crafted CAN traffic can trigger an integer overflow in BCM processing, leading to memory corruption. This can be exploited to cause a kernel crash (denial of service) and, depending on conditions, potentially achieve arbitrary code execution in kernel context.
