[PATCH net] net/sched: em_canid: add length check before reading CAN ID

From: ssrane_b23

Date: Tue Nov 25 2025 - 22:46:24 EST


From: Shaurya Rane <ssrane_b23@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a check to verify that the skb has at least sizeof(canid_t) bytes
before reading the CAN ID from skb->data. This prevents reading
uninitialized memory when processing malformed packets that don't
contain a valid CAN frame.
