Description

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

can: isotp: fix potential CAN frame reception race in isotp_rcv()

When receiving a CAN frame the current code logic does not consider
concurrently receiving processes which do not show up in real world
usage.

Ziyang Xuan writes:

The following syz problem is one of the scenarios. so->rx.len is
changed by isotp_rcv_ff() during isotp_rcv_cf(), so->rx.len equals
0 before alloc_skb() and equals 4096 after alloc_skb(). That will
trigger skb_over_panic() in skb_put().

=======================================================

Therefore we make sure the state changes and data structures stay
consistent at CAN frame reception time by adding a spin_lock in
isotp_rcv(). This fixes the issue reported by syzkaller but does not
affect real world operation.
