"scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is reached through the rtnetlink/tc interface via the sendmsg() syscall (netlink_sendmsg → rtnetlink_rcv_msg → tc_ctl_tclass → ets_class_change), which requires local system access, not network reachability.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the trigger by sending an RTM_NEWTCLASS message with a minor-0 handle (arg=0) and a chosen quantum; the OOB write occurs deterministically at a fixed offset with no race or uncontrollable precondition.\nPR:L - Configuring the ETS qdisc and tclass requires CAP_NET_ADMIN, but this is obtainable by any unprivileged user via an unprivileged user namespace (unshare -Urn) which grants CAP_NET_ADMIN over the new netns containing a usable lo device.\nUI:N - The entire sequence is performed by the attacker's own process via netlink syscalls; no action from any other user is required.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds access and resulting corruption are confined to the kernel's own memory/security authority, a standard local privilege-escalation scenario with no crossing of a security scope boundary.\nC:H - The negative-index pointer feeds both read paths (dump/dump_stats leaking memory adjacent to the qdisc) and a corruption primitive; per kernel guidance an OOB access leveraged toward LPE yields arbitrary-read potential, so Confidentiality is High.\nI:H - cl->quantum = quantum performs a controlled out-of-bounds write into q->active.prev, corrupting a kernel list pointer into a write-what-where primitive; the fix author explicitly notes this may cause local privilege escalation, giving High integrity impact.\nA:H - The corrupted list_head pointer is dereferenced and written during subsequent packet enqueue/dequeue, causing memory corruption and kernel panic/oops, a High availability impact." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
