IMHO "8" should rather be "CAN_MAX_DLEN". I can see two problems with
your patch:

1. If I understand the code correctly, canfd_frame packets (which allow
larger lenth) are also processed by this code path.

2. Silently capping the DLC feels wrong, IMHO it would be cleaner to
drop the resulting packet if it's invalid.

This is the patch I came with:

Subject: [PATCH] can: recheck dlc value of modified packet

CAN frame modification rules allow modification (set, and, or, xor) of DLC
(or payload length value). The new value is not checked against
CAN(FD)_MAX_DLEN so that indicated payload length may reach beyond actual
packet length.

As reported to security list, cgw_csum_xor_rel() with negative offset can
then rewrite e.g. frag_list pointer in skb_shared_info, crashing the
system. With unprivileged user namespaces, this can be exploited by any
regular user.

Rather than distinguishing between can_frame and canfd_frame, check if
resulting payload length does not reach beyond nskb->len which is what we
are actually interested in.
