DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the Linux Kernel, which
can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated
privileges.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to integer overflows within the
implementation of the CAN (Controller Area Network) BCM (Broadcast
Manager) protocol, which can be exploited to e.g. gain escalated
privileges by sending specially crafted CAN traffic.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 2.6.25 and later.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in version 2.6.36-rc1.
