Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2023-52922
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.4.6
**Description**
The issue is related to a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's CAN BCM, specifically in the `bcm proc show()` function. This vulnerability can be exploited to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The `bcm op` is freed before the procfs entry is removed in `bcm release()`, leading to `bcm proc show()` potentially reading the freed `bcm op`.
**Recommendations**
To resolve the issue, upgrade the Linux kernel to a version later than 6.4.6.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable `bcm proc show()` function until a patch is available.
