An attacker must issue `ip link`/`bridge` configuration commands to create the inconsistent multicast state and remove a bridge port.\nAC:L - The reproducer sequence is fully attacker-controlled and deterministic; syzkaller triggered it reliably. The attacker configures the toggle sequence, removes the port, and the orphaned IGMP/MLD query timers fire on schedule without depending on uncontrollable timing or memory layout.\nPR:L - All entry paths require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the target network namespace (rtnetlink at rtnl_newlink, br_ioctl add_del_if, sysfs bridge attributes). Unprivileged local users can obtain this capability by creating a user+network namespace (`unshare -Urn`), which is widely enabled on server and container hosts.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires no action from any other user or victim; the attacker performs the entire bridge setup, state toggling, and port removal themselves.\nS:U - Successful exploitation corrupts kernel memory within the same kernel security domain. This is a standard local kernel memory corruption issue, not a cross-boundary escape such as VM guest-to-host or IOMMU bypass.\nC:H - This is a heap use-after-free on a freed net_bridge_port structure; the timer callback dereferences pmctx->port->br on freed memory. UAF on kernel slab objects enables arbitrary kernel memory reads via heap grooming and reclamation of the freed port object.\nI:H - The UAF occurs in a timer softirq handler that reads and writes through fields of the freed port multicast context, including sending queries via br_multicast_send_query. Kernel heap UAF is exploitable for arbitrary write and control-flow hijack primitives, not merely a crash.\nA:H - The freed port structure is kfree'd while IGMP/MLD own-query timers remain active, producing a debugobjects \"free active timer\" warning and use-after-free in softirq. This reliably causes kernel oops/panic and can be triggered repeatedly to deny service on shared infrastructure such as cloud hosts or software switches." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux",
