How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 linux-6.1 to version 6.1.129-1~deb11u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-6.1 package and not the linux-6.1 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

can: ctucanfd: handle skb allocation failure

If skb allocation fails, the pointer to struct can_frame is NULL. This is actually handled everywhere inside ctucan_err_interrupt() except for the only place.

Add the missed NULL check.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE static analysis tool.
