CVE-2026-80707

can: j1939: transport: j1939_session_fresh_new(): initialize receive buffer

Published Aug 28, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

can: j1939: transport: j1939_session_fresh_new(): initialize receive buffer

Zero the allocated buffer in j1939_session_fresh_new() to ensure it
contains no residual data.

While there is a potential performance impact if users allocate maximum
sized ETP buffers, most real-world use cases are not noticeably affected
since the maximum known buffer size is typically around 65K.
