In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

can: kvaser_usb_leaf: kvaser_usb_leaf_wait_cmd(): validate received command extents

The wait and bulk receive paths walk variable-length commands from a
USB buffer. A nonzero command shorter than CMD_HEADER_LEN can still be
dispatched, and the wait path copies a matching command into a fixed
caller-owned struct kvaser_cmd using the device-provided length.

Reject nonzero commands that do not contain the fixed header or that
extend beyond the current USB buffer item. In the wait path, also reject
a matching command that exceeds the destination before copying it.
