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

can: isotp: isotp_sendmsg(): add result check for wait_event_interruptible()

Using wait_event_interruptible() to wait for complete transmission,
but do not check the result of wait_event_interruptible() which can be
interrupted. It will result in TX buffer has multiple accessors and
the later process interferes with the previous process.

Following is one of the problems reported by syzbot.
