As a result, RX\nskbs from alloc_can_skb() and friends again carry mac_header = 0xFFFF.\nWhen such an skb reaches packet_rcv_spkt() (SOCK_PACKET), the push length\ncalculation overflows and triggers skb_under_panic -\u003e kernel BUG -\u003e full\nmachine panic.\n\nThe same issue was originally reported in 2014 on linux-can and fixed by\ncommit 969439016d2c (\"can: add missing initialisations in CAN related\nskbuffs\"). packet_rcv_spkt() itself has never been hardened: only\npacket_rcv() and tpacket_rcv() gained dev_has_header() checks in\ncommit d549699048b4 (\"net/packet: fix packet receive on L3 devices\nwithout visible hard header\")."
