CVE-2024-47709 Affecting kernel-bootwrapper package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-bootwrapper package and not the kernel-bootwrapper package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

can: bcm: Clear bo->bcm_proc_read after remove_proc_entry().

syzbot reported a warning in bcm_release(). [0]

The blamed change fixed another warning that is triggered when connect() is issued again for a socket whose connect()ed device has been unregistered.

However, if the socket is just close()d without the 2nd connect(), the remaining bo->bcm_proc_read triggers unnecessary remove_proc_entry() in bcm_release().

Let's clear bo->bcm_proc_read after remove_proc_entry() in bcm_notify().
