CVE-2024-46771 — can: bcm: Remove proc entry when dev is unregistered.

Affected: Linux

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

can: bcm: Remove proc entry when dev is unregistered.

syzkaller reported a warning in bcm_connect() below. [0]

The repro calls connect() to vxcan1, removes vxcan1, and calls connect() with ifindex == 0.

Calling connect() for a BCM socket allocates a proc entry. Then, bcm_sk(sk)->bound is set to 1 to prevent further connect().

However, removing the bound device resets bcm_sk(sk)->bound to 0 in bcm_notify().

The 2nd connect() tries to allocate a proc entry with the same name and sets NULL to bcm_sk(sk)->bcm_proc_read, leaking the original proc entry.

Since the proc entry is available only for connect()ed sockets, let's clean up the entry when the bound netdev is unregistered.
