No remote peer data reaches the vulnerable code.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race, looping RDMA_NLDEV_CMD_NEWLINK in one thread and RDMA_NLDEV_CMD_SET (rename) in another; `enable_device_and_get()` marks the device DEVICE_REGISTERED and drops to refcount 2 before the unprotected `kobject_uevent()`, leaving a reliably hittable window that syzkaller reproduced.\nPR:L - The gate is `netlink_capable(skb, CAP_NET_ADMIN)`, which checks init_user_ns and so is not obtainable via `unshare -Urn`, but CAP_NET_ADMIN in the initial user namespace is routinely delegated to non-root, container-confined workloads (Docker/K8s do not enable user namespaces by default, and RDMA/SR-IOV network plugins commonly run with `--cap-add=NET_ADMIN`). Scored as a low-privileged principal rather than real host root.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers both the device registration and the concurrent rename entirely on its own via netlink; no victim action is involved.\nS:U - The use-after-free is in kernel slab memory and its impact stays within the kernel's security authority; no hypervisor, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The freed `kobj->name` slab object is `strlen`'d and `memcpy`'d into the `DEVPATH=` uevent variable that is broadcast to userspace listeners and the uevent helper, so reallocated kernel heap contents are disclosed outside the kernel, and the unterminated `strlen` reads out of bounds past the freed chunk.\nI:H - This is a slab use-after-free where the attacker can spray the freed kmalloc chunk and control the data the kernel then consumes; per UAF-class scoring the reallocation primitive is treated as exploitable for kernel state corruption, and the resulting bogus DEVPATH also drives userspace device management onto the wrong sysfs path.\nA:H - KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free read that can fault and oops when the backing page is freed or under KFENCE/page poisoning, and `kobject_get_path()`'s `retry` loop can spin under a sustained rename storm, both causing denial of service." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus":
