CVE ID : CVE-2025-38224

Description : In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: kvaser_pciefd: refine error prone echo_skb_max handling logic
echo_skb_max should define the supported upper limit of echo_skb[]
allocated inside the netdevice’s priv. The corresponding size value
provided by this driver to alloc_candev() is KVASER_PCIEFD_CAN_TX_MAX_COUNT
which is 17.
But later echo_skb_max is rounded up to the nearest power of two (for the
max case, that would be 32) and the tx/ack indices calculated further
during tx/rx may exceed the upper array boundary. Kasan reported this for
the ack case inside kvaser_pciefd_handle_ack_packet(), though the xmit
function has actually caught the same thing earlier.

Tx max count definitely matters for kvaser_pciefd_tx_avail(), but for seq
numbers’ generation that’s not the case – we’re free to calculate them as
would be more convenient, not taking tx max count into account. The only
downside is that the size of echo_skb[] should correspond to the max seq
number (not tx max count), so in some situations a bit more memory would
be consumed than could be.
Thus make the size of the underlying echo_skb[] sufficient for the rounded
max tx value.
