"value": "AV:L - Reachable only via local AppArmor policy interfaces—mkdir on apparmorfs namespaces or write to .load/.replace—which call alloc_ns through __aa_create_ns/aa_prepare_ns; not via network or adjacent packet paths.\nAC:L - An attacker who can create namespaces can induce GFP_KERNEL failure in alloc_unconfined (e.g. memory pressure/cgroup limits) after aa_policy_init succeeds; once on fail_unconfined the bad kfree_sensitive is deterministic with no race outside attacker control.\nPR:L - Namespace creation requires CAP_MAC_ADMIN via aa_may_manage_policy, but with default unprivileged_userns_apparmor_policy=1 this is obtainable in nested user/AppArmor namespaces (e.g. unprivileged containers), matching prior AppArmor policy-load scoring.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers ns creation and the allocation-failure path themselves through policy admin operations; no separate victim action is required.\nS:U - Impact is confined to host-kernel slab corruption in AppArmor under the same OS security authority, with no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed.\nC:H - kfree_sensitive on the interior hname pointer performs an out-of-bounds zero (ksize returns the full slab object size from a mid-object pointer) and an invalid free, yielding slab corruption that can be leveraged for arbitrary read primitives.\nI:H - The same path is an out-of-bounds write via memzero_explicit plus an invalid free of a non-object-start pointer, which corrupts SLUB freelist metadata and is a well-established route to arbitrary write and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Invalid free and adjacent-object corruption reliably cause kernel oops/BUG/panic under freelist hardening or subsequent realloc use, which is Availability High under kernel CVSS guidance."
