this patch ("can: isotp: prevent race between isotp_bind() and

It has a CVE number and is potentially exploitable - but it was not in the
latest batch of stable kernels about ~4h ago.

It was obviously not tagged properly for stable kernels but has a
fixes-tag:

Oh - there was a change if networking stable handling:

| dbbe7c962c3a docs: networking: drop special stable handling

I've missed the memo, sorry.

Marc
