seq_read_iter → cifs_debug_data_proc_show), not by processing remote SMB packets; this is the CIFS client debug interface.\nAC:L - The attacker can control both sides of the race by concurrently mounting/unmounting CIFS shares while repeatedly reading DebugData, making the UAF reliably triggerable without depending on unrelated system state.\nPR:L - DebugData is created with mode 0 which becomes world-readable (0444), so any unprivileged local user can hit the vulnerable show path; session teardown is reachable without real root via user/setuid CIFS mounts or multiuser-mount session prune.\nUI:N - No victim action is required; the attacker alone can open/read the proc file and induce session teardown through their own mount/session activity.\nS:U - This is a standard in-kernel UAF enabling local privilege escalation within the same host kernel authority; it does not cross VM, IOMMU, or other security boundaries.\nC:H - Use-after-free of session/tcon objects (demonstrated via SLAB poison 0x6b… in cifs_debug_tcon) allows reclaim and attacker-controlled contents, enabling arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The same UAF of heap objects used during debug iteration can be turned into write/control-flow primitives via heap spraying, enabling integrity compromise and code execution in the kernel.\nA:H - The bug causes a kernel general protection fault/oops when freed tcon memory is accessed, so availability impact is a full kernel crash even without further exploitation." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus":
