NVD Description

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

can: dev: can_restart: fix use after free bug

After calling netif_rx_ni(skb), dereferencing skb is unsafe. Especially, the can_frame cf which aliases skb memory is accessed after the netif_rx_ni() in: stats->rx_bytes += cf->len;

Reordering the lines solves the issue.
