No network-facing path emits JITted signed ALU32 div/mod on behalf of a remote peer.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the BPF instruction sequence and the divisor/dividend, so producing a negative signed ALU32 quotient or remainder is deterministic and repeatable with no race, timing, or memory-layout dependency.\nPR:L - Loading an eBPF program requires only an unprivileged local user where unprivileged BPF is permitted, or CAP_BPF/CAP_SYS_ADMIN which is reachable via user namespaces on many deployments; no real root in the init namespace is needed.\nUI:N - The attacker loads and runs its own BPF program; no action by any other user or administrator is required at any point.\nS:U - The verifier bypass and resulting memory corruption stay within the kernel's own security authority on the same host, giving kernel-level privilege escalation rather than crossing a VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor boundary.\nC:H - The verifier models bits 63:32 of the ALU32 result as zero while the JIT leaves them set, so a later ALU64 shift lets the verifier conclude a register is constant zero when it is really 0xFFFFFFFF; using it as a pointer offset yields an attacker-controlled out-of-bounds read of arbitrary kernel memory.\nI:H - The same verifier/JIT range mismatch produces an out-of-bounds pointer that passes verification for stores as well as loads, giving an arbitrary kernel write primitive usable for control-flow hijacking and full privilege escalation.\nA:H - Out-of-bounds accesses through the mis-tracked register readily fault on unmapped or protected kernel addresses, causing an oops or panic, and the corruption can be repeated at will to bring the system down."
