A remote NVMe-oF peer can induce teardown, but cannot independently perform the stale-FD ioctl.\nAC:L - The attacker can retain the file descriptor across controller teardown and trigger the UAF afterward, so no narrow race must be won. Teardown can also be induced predictably in NVMe/TCP deployments through controlled connection failure.\nPR:L - A basic local user with access to the NVMe device can use an Identify admin command, which nvme_cmd_allowed() permits without CAP_SYS_ADMIN. User-namespace capabilities are therefore unnecessary.\nUI:N - No victim action is required once the attacker has opened the device; controller teardown may occur automatically or be attacker-influenced.\nS:U - The UAF compromises the same host kernel security authority containing the vulnerable NVMe and block-layer code. It does not inherently cross a VM, IOMMU, or equivalent boundary.\nC:H - The stale request_queue can be reclaimed and reused, allowing subsequent queue and request processing to access attacker-influenced freed-object contents. As a kernel UAF, this can plausibly provide information-disclosure primitives.\nI:H - Queue entry increments a refcount through the stale object, and successful reuse can drive request initialization through an unrelated queue and corrupt kernel memory. This is plausibly exploitable for arbitrary modification or control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The reported UAF occurs in blk_queue_enter() and can cause an oops, panic, hang, or broader memory corruption. The retained stale descriptor permits repeated triggering." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
