In production builds where assertions are disabled, a userspace application that controls the length passed to a sendto syscall can supply an incomplete or truncated frame, causing socketcan_to_can_frame() to dereference fields beyond the end of the buffer. This results in an out-of-bounds read that can cause denial-of-service crashes or, because the parsed frame contents are transmitted on the network, leak adjacent memory.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-05-30T07:15:56.417+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-15T22:10:26.359+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Zephyr","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"packageName\": \"Zephyr\",\n                    \"product\": \"Zephyr\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"zephyrproject-rtos\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"lessThan\": \"3.7.2\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"*\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"lessThan\": \"4.2.2\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"4.0.0\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"lessThan\": \"4.3.1\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"4.3.0\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H","score":6.1,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/security/advisories/GHSA-c3w6-x7m3-3c58"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-5071","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-5071","identifiers":["CVE-2026-5071"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
