"value": "AV:L - Exploitation requires local access to character device nodes — write(2) on /dev/vcsN or /dev/vcsaN and an ioctl on a VT tty for VT_DISALLOCATE. There is no network or remote-peer reachability.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race: one thread drives the write loop (which unconditionally drops console_lock every PAGE_SIZE chunk) while another calls VT_DISALLOCATE, and the window can be stretched indefinitely by backing the user buffer with userfaultfd or FUSE so copy_from_user stalls on demand. This makes the free-and-respray step reliable rather than opportunistic.\nPR:L - VT_DISALLOCATE carries no perm or capable() check whatsoever in vt_ioctl, so the only gate is DAC on /dev/vcs* and a VT fd — held by any tty-group member, any console-logged-in user via logind ACLs, or non-root console services on embedded systems. No capability or root privilege in the initial namespace is needed.\nUI:N - The attacker performs every step — allocating the VT, opening /dev/vcs*, issuing the write and the deallocation ioctl — from its own threads. No victim action is involved.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap memory within the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The stale vc_data is read after free (vcs_size, screenpos, vc_sw), and since the attacker can reclaim the kmalloc-1k slot with controlled data and set vc->vc_origin arbitrarily, the write path's read-modify-write sequences (vcs_scr_readw on the computed pointer) yield an arbitrary kernel-memory read primitive.\nI:H - vcs_write_buf derives its destination pointer from the freed object's vc_origin/vc_visible_origin and then writes attacker-supplied 16-bit values there, giving a controlled arbitrary kernel write; the viewed path additionally makes an indirect call through vc->vc_sw->con_screen_pos read out of freed memory, a direct control-flow hijack primitive leading to privilege escalation.\nA:H - Even unweaponized the bug is a slab use-after-free that reads and writes through a dangling pointer, producing KASAN splats, oopses, and kernel panics as syzkaller demonstrated, and it can be retriggered at will."
