7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The bug is in BFQ's bio-merge path (bfq_bio_merge), reached only when a local process submits block I/O via write/fsync/etc. through submit_bio → blk_mq_submit_bio → blk_mq_sched_bio_merge; it is not reachable from network protocol parsers.\nAC:L - After a cgroup change (or writeback bios for a different cgroup), the bic retains stale cgroup/bfqq state and the next mergeable bio reliably uses it; an attacker who migrates within a delegated cgroup tree and issues I/O controls both sides, so success does not depend on uncontrolled conditions.\nPR:L - Any unprivileged local user can submit I/O into BFQ, and cgroup moves that desync bic state are achievable without real root via delegated cgroup subtrees (containers, systemd user sessions, Android app cgroups).\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only the attacker's own I/O and cgroup operations; no separate victim action is needed.\nS:U - Impact is confined to the host kernel's block/cgroup authority (local memory corruption / privilege escalation); it does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other security boundary.\nC:H - The commit describes merging against bfqqs of already-dead cgroups, i.e. a use-after-free, which per scoring guidance enables attacker-controlled object reuse and arbitrary kernel read primitives.\nI:H - The same UAF on bfqq/bfqg structures enables heap spray and arbitrary write / control-flow hijacking in the kernel, not merely incorrect accounting.\nA:H - Use-after-free on freed BFQ cgroup queue structures can oops/panic the kernel (as shown by related BFQ cgroup UAF KASAN reports in the same fix series)." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
