25th percentile - higher than 25% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the CAN J1939 function j1939_session_fresh_new() did not zero the buffer before use, potentially leaving residual data. The fix zeroes the allocated buffer to prevent potential information leakage.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves possible disclosure of sensitive kernel memory data in CAN communication, which could compromise the confidentiality of transmitted information.

Recommendation

It is recommended to apply the kernel patch that zeroes the buffer in j1939_session_fresh_new() as soon as possible and update the system to a kernel version containing this fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: j1939: transport: j1939_session_fresh_new(): initialize receive buffer Zero the allocated buffer in j1939_session_fresh_new() to ensure it contains no residual data. While there is a potential performance impact if users allocate maximum sized ETP buffers, most real-world use cases are not noticeably affected since the maximum known buffer size is typically around 65K.
