CVE-2010-4565: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2010-4565: The bcm_connect function in net/can/bcm.c (aka the Broadcast Manager) in the Controller Area Network (CAN)...

The bcm_connect function in net/can/bcm.c (aka the Broadcast Manager) in the Controller Area Network (CAN) implementation in the Linux kernel 2.6.36 and earlier creates a publicly accessible file with a filename containing a kernel memory address, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information about kernel memory use by listing this filename.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-4565 is a Linux kernel information leak in the CAN Broadcast Manager. A local user could see a file name that exposed a kernel memory address. By itself this is not remote compromise, but it can reveal information useful for attacking older Linux systems. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems running kernel 2.6.36 or earlier, especially embedded, industrial, or automotive environments using CAN. The source bundle does not identify specific downstream products beyond Linux kernel references. Treat this as low standalone urgency but relevant for legacy risk reduction. Prioritize remediation where old Linux kernels host multiple users, sensitive workloads, or operational technology functions, because kernel address leaks can support broader attack chains. Mitigation focus: Apply vendor kernel updates that include the CAN BCM information leak fix.; Retire or isolate systems still running Linux kernel 2.6.36 or earlier.; Limit local shell access to trusted users on affected legacy systems..
