{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:N - The precondition for the crash — `rdata->server` being NULL while credits are still held — is produced by SMB channel teardown paths (`cifs_chan_skip_or_disable()`, channel reconnect/disable) that are driven by the remote SMB server's responses and multichannel advertisements, so a malicious, compromised, or MITM'd SMB server reached over the network controls the trigger against a mounted client.\nAC:L - A hostile server controls both sides: it drives the reconnect/multichannel-disable that NULLs the channel and it controls response timing, so it can stall in-flight R/W subrequests to hold credits across the window at will. No memory-layout or victim-state condition outside the attacker's influence is needed.\nPR:N - A remote SMB server needs no account, credentials, or privileges on the victim client — the reconnect and channel-negotiation behaviour it abuses is part of normal connection maintenance on an established mount.\nUI:N - Against the common deployment of a persistent SMB mount (fstab/automount on servers, embedded and Android devices), the attacker acts on an already-mounted share with ordinary background readahead and writeback supplying the I/O; no victim action is required at attack time.\nS:U - The fault occurs in the CIFS client inside the kernel and its consequences stay within that same kernel's security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:N - The defect is a dereference of a NULL `server` pointer to reach `server->ops`, which faults immediately; no out-of-bounds or freed memory is read and no data is returned to the attacker.\nI:N - Nothing is written through the bad pointer — the code path faults on the read of `->ops` before any store, giving no write primitive or control-flow hijack on configurations with the standard non-zero `mmap_min_addr` and SMAP/PAN.\nA:H - The NULL dereference oopses the kernel in netfs subrequest-completion context, which is frequently a workqueue, killing writeback and rendering the mount unusable; the remote server can trigger it repeatedly."
