** Description changed:
+ The bcm_release function in net/can/bcm.c in the Linux kernel before
+ 2.6.39-rc6 does not properly validate a socket data structure, which
+ allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
+ dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
+ release operation.
