AI-suggested
A patch is available and included in updated Linux kernel packages for affected Ubuntu releases. Users should apply the standard system updates and reboot to ensure the fix is applied. Due to an ABI change, recompilation and reinstallation of third-party kernel modules may be required. Follow vendor instructions for updating and rebuilding kernel modules as needed.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: usb: f81604: correctly anchor the urb in the read bulk callback When submitting an urb, that is using the anchor pattern, it needs to be anchored before submitting it otherwise it could be leaked if usb_kill_anchored_urbs() is called. This logic is correctly done elsewhere in the driver, except in the read bulk callback so do that here also.
