finalize work self-scheduled by the address-trial timeout; the freeing side cannot be driven by a remote peer, so local access is required.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race (bearer enable/finalize work vs. concurrent bearer disable/monitor free) and can repeat the operations to win the window, as demonstrated by the syzbot reproducer.\nPR:L - All TIPC bearer operations require GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM (CAP_NET_ADMIN), which is obtainable by an unprivileged user in a user+network namespace (unshare -Urn) since TIPC is netns-aware.\nUI:N - The race is triggered entirely by the attacker's own syscalls and a kernel timer/workqueue; no action from any other user is needed.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel slab memory within the same kernel security authority; standard kernel privilege escalation does not cross a CVSS scope boundary.\nC:H - A use-after-free lets the attacker reallocate the freed monitor object with controlled contents, and the code reads pointers/fields from it, enabling disclosure of kernel memory.\nI:H - The UAF dereferences `mon->self` from the freed object and writes a controlled node address (`mon->self->addr = ...`); with heap grooming this yields an arbitrary-write primitive exploitable for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The use-after-free reliably causes kernel memory corruption and oops/panic, taking down the system." } ] }
