CVE-2024-56651 – Linux Kernel CAN hi311x Use-After-Free Vulnerability

CVE ID : CVE-2024-56651

Published : Dec. 27, 2024, 3:15 p.m. | 1 hour ago

Description : In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

can: hi311x: hi3110_can_ist(): fix potential use-after-free

The commit a22bd630cfff (“can: hi311x: do not report txerr and rxerr
during bus-off”) removed the reporting of rxerr and txerr even in case
of correct operation (i. e. not bus-off).

The error count information added to the CAN frame after netif_rx() is
a potential use after free, since there is no guarantee that the skb
is in the same state. It might be freed or reused.

Fix the issue by postponing the netif_rx() call in case of txerr and
rxerr reporting.

Severity: 0.0 | NA
