"value": "AV:L - The bug is in UBIFS local journal writeback (ubifs_wbuf_write_nolock), reached via VFS operations such as creating a long symlink and forcing inode writeback on an already-mounted flash filesystem; it is not in a network-facing protocol stack.\nAC:L - A public reproducer reliably triggers the path by filling the journal write-buffer (deep mkdir tree), creating a non-8-byte-aligned symlink, and waiting for writeback—all conditions the attacker controls.\nPR:L - On typical UBIFS deployments (embedded/Android system or data volumes already mounted), an unprivileged user with write permission can create symlinks/directories and dirty inodes to reach the vulnerable writeback path without needing CAP_SYS_ADMIN.\nUI:N - No victim action is required once UBIFS is mounted as system storage; the attacker alone performs the filesystem operations that dirty the inode and trigger writeback.\nS:U - Impact is confined to the local kernel/OS security authority (heap disclosure and possible oops); there is no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-boundary effect.\nC:H - The bug is a slab out-of-bounds read of adjacent kernel heap that is then written to flash via ubifs_leb_write, so leaked kernel memory can be exposed; choosing the higher severity for this memory disclosure.\nI:N - This is a read-only out-of-bounds access with no attacker-controlled write primitive, type confusion, or other integrity corruption of kernel state.\nA:H - Reading past a kmalloc object can fault into unmapped/adjacent memory and cause a kernel oops, and the KASAN report confirms a hard out-of-bounds access on the writeback path."
