initialization at boot or qcrypto module load, not from any network, ioctl, or AF_ALG userspace path.\nAC:L - On modular builds an attacker can reload qcrypto under memory pressure to force register_algs() failure, and once algorithms leak the UAF is reliably triggered by normal kernel crypto consumers such as fscrypt selecting high-priority QCE transforms.\nPR:L - After the flawed probe error path leaves QCE algorithms registered, unprivileged local processes on Qualcomm phones and embedded targets reach them through routine fscrypt/dm-crypt kernel crypto without capabilities or init-namespace root.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires no victim interaction beyond ordinary encrypted filesystem or storage activity that automatically exercises kernel crypto after the probe failure has occurred.\nS:U - Impact is confined to kernel memory corruption and privilege escalation within the same kernel security domain, not a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossing.\nC:H - Leaked algorithm templates retain tmpl->qce pointers to the devm-freed qce_device, creating a kernel heap use-after-free that can be leveraged for arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The dangling qce_device UAF corrupts kernel heap objects and control fields (mutex, DMA, MMIO pointers) reachable from crypto request handlers, enabling arbitrary write and potential code execution.\nA:H - Dereferencing the freed qce_device during QCE crypto operations can cause kernel oops, panic, or hang, and UAF corruption inherently threatens system availability." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux",
