From: co
Date: Thu Sep 10 2026 - 11:20:05 EST
We found a bug reachable in:
path drivers/net/can/usb/peak_usb
crash out-of-bounds in pcan_usb_pro_decode_buf()
commit 2f1baf1fc892 ("Merge tag 'trace-v7.2-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace")
Config, environment, the sanitizer report and a C reproducer follow.
== Notes ===============================================================
If you patch the bug based on our artifacts, a tag would be
appreciated:
Reported-by: co+4bda3bf8e1a2b780@xxxxxxx
Everything in this mail is validated by the reproducer below.
We also hold an LLM-generated root-cause analysis and a candidate
patch. The patch passes an A/B test: the same reproducer panics the
unpatched kernel and runs clean on the patched one. Neither has had
human review, so both still require validation before you send or
apply them. Available on:
patch.diff https://bugs.sh/b/4bda3bf8e1a2b780/patch.diff
report.md https://bugs.sh/b/4bda3bf8e1a2b780/report.md
This is an open science project. The code and the full set of PoCs
are not public at this moment, as we intend to disclose our findings
in an ethical way.
Happy to test patches. Complaints and suggestions about our work
are welcome at:
