"value": "AV:L - The bug is reached via renameat2(RENAME_WHITEOUT) on a mounted UBIFS volume (syscall → vfs_rename → ubifs_rename → do_rename), not via network packet processing.\nAC:L - An attacker with write access can reliably force the whiteout ubifs_budget_space() failure by exhausting free space or concurrent budget pressure after earlier budgets succeed; no conditions outside attacker control are required.\nPR:L - RENAME_WHITEOUT needs only directory write/exec permission; CAP_MKNOD is not required (unprivileged whiteouts since a3c751a50fe6), so a normal local user on writable UBIFS (e.g. Android/embedded data) can trigger it.\nUI:N - The attacker issues renameat2 themselves on an already-mounted writable UBIFS; no separate victim action is required.\nS:U - Impact is confined to the local kernel/host authority (privilege escalation or crash); it does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other security boundary.\nC:H - This is a double-free of a kmalloc object with an RCU grace period before the second free, enabling heap reclaim and arbitrary read primitives from corrupted allocator/object state.\nI:H - The same double-free/heap corruption is exploitable for arbitrary write and control-flow hijacking via spraying the reclaimed kmalloc-8 slot between the two frees.\nA:H - The double-free triggers KASAN/invalid-free and can oops or panic the kernel even without full exploitation."
