7, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is reached via local Generic Netlink sendmsg to the nbd family (and concurrent local delete_module); it is not reachable from network packets or remote protocols.\nAC:H - Exploitation requires winning a race against nbd module removal (rmmod/delete_module), which an unprivileged attacker cannot initiate and which depends on a privileged actor unloading the module.\nPR:L - NBD_CMD_STATUS has no capability check and is usable by an unprivileged local user, so the cleanup race can be exercised without CAP_SYS_ADMIN; CAP_SYS_ADMIN in init_user_ns is only required for connect/disconnect/reconfigure.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is required; the attacker only needs to send netlink commands while the module exit path runs.\nS:U - Impact remains within the local kernel’s authority; this is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-boundary breakout.\nC:H - The race is a use-after-free of nbd/debugfs/idr state during teardown, which can be leveraged for disclosure of freed kernel memory contents under the higher-severity UAF scoring rule.\nI:H - The same UAF on kernel objects during module cleanup can be abused for corruption/control-flow hijack primitives, not merely a crash.\nA:H - The documented outcome is a kernel NULL pointer dereference oops during nbd_genl_connect while the module is going away, which is a full availability impact." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
