What to do
AI-suggested
A fix for this vulnerability has been implemented in the Linux kernel source code. Users and administrators should update to the latest kernel version containing this patch to remediate the issue. Since this is a kernel-level vulnerability, applying the official kernel update is the recommended mitigation. No alternative workarounds are indicated.
Description
A use-after-free vulnerability was identified and fixed in the Linux kernel's CAN driver for hi311x devices, specifically in the hi3110_can_ist() function. The issue arises from error count information being added to a CAN frame after the netif_rx() call, where the socket buffer (skb) may have been freed or reused, leading to potential memory corruption. The fix involves postponing the netif_rx() call when reporting transmit and receive errors to avoid accessing freed memory.
