"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable path is reached through the ebtables setsockopt configuration interface (EBT_SO_SET_ENTRIES → do_replace), a local syscall on a socket, not remote network data.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the triggering sequence (table replacement with module autoload, plus any concurrent registration race), and syzbot reproduced it reliably; per guidance attacker-controlled races and UAFs are Low.\nPR:L - The path requires CAP_NET_ADMIN only over net->user_ns, which an unprivileged user obtains in a fresh user+network namespace via `unshare -Urn`; no real root is needed.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the entire flow via their own setsockopt calls; no victim action is required.\nS:U - The corruption stays within the kernel's own memory/security authority in the same (namespaced) context; no VM/IOMMU boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The freed table blob remains live as t->private and is reallocatable by the attacker, allowing controlled reads (counters, kernel data) — a use-after-free yields high confidentiality impact.\nI:H - The UAF lets the attacker place a crafted blob at the freed address; ebt_do_table dereferences target function pointers from it, giving heap-spray-based arbitrary write / control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The use-after-free causes kernel oops/panic (as shown by the KASAN report in __ebt_unregister_table) and is trivially weaponizable into a crash."
