CVE-2024-46792 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel specific to the RISC-V architecture where the functions raw_copy_to_user and raw_copy_from_user did not invoke access_ok(), a check that restricts user space access to kernel memory. This flaw allowed userspace processes to access arbitrary virtual memory addresses, potentially leaking kernel memory contents. The issue has been resolved by restricting user access to kernel memory properly in the affected code paths.

The vulnerability allows a local user with limited privileges to read kernel memory addresses that should be inaccessible, potentially leading to information disclosure. There is no indication of integrity or availability impact. The CVSS score is 3.3 (low severity), reflecting limited impact and attack complexity requiring local privileges.

A fix for this vulnerability has been implemented in the Linux kernel. Users and administrators should update to the fixed kernel version as provided by their Linux distribution vendors. Patch status is not explicitly stated in the provided data; therefore, check the vendor advisory or Linux kernel mailing lists for the exact fixed versions and update instructions.
