                            "value": "AV:L - The corruption occurs in the tas2781 HDA I2C codec driver's firmware-ready callback during local driver bind; there is no network, adjacent-network, or peer-supplied data path into `tas2563_save_calibration()`. Exploiting the resulting kernel heap corruption requires local presence on the affected machine.\nAC:L - The wrong pointer is dereferenced unconditionally every time `tasdev_fw_ready()` runs on a TAS2563 (ACPI HID INT8866) system — no race, no timing window, and no memory-layout precondition the attacker cannot influence. The driver is enabled in stock distro kernels and the hardware is common in consumer Lenovo laptops, so this is not a rare-config case.\nPR:L - No capability, credential, or privilege check exists anywhere on the path — the corruption fires from a kernel firmware-load worker at boot, before any authentication. A plain unprivileged local account on the affected system is sufficient to be positioned to leverage the resulting heap damage, so Low rather than High.\nUI:N - The vulnerable code is reached automatically from the asynchronous `request_firmware_nowait()` completion callback during device probe/bind; no victim must log in, mount anything, open a device node, or take any other action.\nS:U - The type confusion corrupts kernel heap memory belonging to the same kernel that hosts the vulnerable driver, with no crossing of a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary. Impact and vulnerable component share one security authority.\nC:H - The function performs OOB reads of `p->dev` and `p->ndev` hundreds/thousands of bytes past a 24-byte allocation and writes a live kernel heap pointer (`cd->data`) into an unrelated adjacent object, which can surface kernel addresses to userspace and defeat KASLR. Heap corruption of this kind is leverageable into broader memory disclosure.\nI:H - This is an out-of-bounds write: `cali_dat_sz_per_dev`, `total_sz`, `data`, and the five `cali_reg` fields are written ~790–810 bytes beyond the object, and `devm_kzalloc()` performs a list insertion through an uncontrolled `struct device *`, giving a write through a wild pointer. OOB write plus type confusion is High integrity impact under the standard treatment.\nA:H - The maintainer explicitly states this \"resulted in memory corruption and crashes eventually\"; dereferencing the garbage `p->dev` inside `devm_kzalloc()` (spinlock acquisition and list_add at an arbitrary address) reliably produces an oops or panic, and the corrupted neighbouring heap objects cause later crashes. Any kernel crash is High."
