"value": "AV:N - The bug is in the NFSv4 client referral path (fs/nfs): a malicious or compromised NFS server drives it by returning NFS4ERR_MOVED on LOOKUP and a successful FS_LOCATIONS reply with a different fsid over the network.\nAC:L - The remote server fully controls when MOVED/referral replies are sent and can trigger the path deterministically; CONFIG_NFS_V4_SECURITY_LABEL defaults to y, so the uninitialized-label free is not gated on a rare config.\nPR:N - Exploitation is from the remote NFS peer (or on-path AUTH_SYS attacker) with no account or capability on the victim client; no client-side privileges are required beyond an existing NFSv4 mount relationship.\nUI:N - An already-mounted NFSv4 export plus ordinary client lookups/revalidations (or automount activity) is enough; the malicious server can wait for routine pathwalks without a distinct victim action at exploit time.\nS:U - The uninitialized free and resulting heap corruption stay in the client kernel address space within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - memcpy replaces a valid fattr->label with uninitialized kmalloc garbage, then nfs4_label_free dereferences that pointer (kfree(label->label)/kfree(label)), yielding memory-corruption primitives that can disclose kernel memory when the freed object is reclaimed.\nI:H - Freeing an uninitialized nfs4_label pointer is an arbitrary/corrupt free suitable for heap manipulation and control-flow hijacking, consistent with treating this class of memory corruption as high integrity impact.\nA:H - The reported crash is a kernel panic/oops in nfs_lookup (exc_stack_segment) when the garbage label is freed, and the corruption is repeatable whenever the server returns a referral."
