interrupt-controller boot code with no network, packet, or remote-peer input; the only user-visible surface tied to the freed object is the local sysfs attribute `/sys/devices/system/intc/intc.N/name` and local suspend/resume activity, so exposure is confined to the local system.\nAC:H - The dangling list entry is created only when a `GFP_NOWAIT`/`kcalloc` allocation or `ioremap()` fails inside an `__init` function during early boot, before userspace exists, so the triggering memory-pressure condition is entirely outside any attacker's influence, and it additionally requires SuperH hardware with `CONFIG_SH_INTC`.\nPR:N - No privileges or credentials are involved at any point — the freed `intc_desc_int` is dereferenced by the kernel itself at `device_initcall` time (`register_intc_devs()`) long before any login, and the resulting sysfs `name` attribute that reads the freed object is world-readable (`S_IRUGO`).\nUI:N - Once the error path executes, the stale list entry is dereferenced automatically during the remainder of boot and on every subsequent suspend/resume cycle; no victim action is needed.\nS:U - The use-after-free is confined to kernel heap objects managed by the SH interrupt-controller driver; no VM, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The freed `intc_desc_int` is read back after release — `show_intc_name()` dereferences `d->chip.name` from freed slab memory through a world-readable sysfs file, and list traversal reads `d->list.next` out of reallocated memory, so reclaimed heap contents can be disclosed.\nI:H - `register_intc_devs()` performs `device_register(&d->dev)` on the freed object, writing kobject/device state into reclaimed slab memory and linking it into driver-core lists, which is a write primitive into attacker-influenceable reused heap; per UAF guidance this is High.\nA:H - Traversing `intc_list` through a freed `list_head` follows a stale/overwritten `next` pointer into arbitrary memory, producing an oops or panic, and it corrupts the suspend/resume syscore paths for the interrupt controller." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux",
