"value": "AV:N - The vulnerable code is the NFSv4 attribute encoder in the in-kernel NFS server, reached directly from GETATTR/READDIR/OPEN operations in a client-supplied COMPOUND over TCP port 2049. No local access is needed — an attacker acting as an NFS client on the network drives the entire path.\nAC:L - The attacker controls every input needed: the requested attribute bitmap (FATTR4_WORD0_CHANGE/SIZE/ACL/FILEHANDLE) and the condition that forces the early exit, e.g. holding a write delegation and deliberately stalling the CB_GETATTR callback so nfsd4_deleg_getattr_conflict returns nfserr_jukebox, and the operation can be repeated indefinitely. CONFIG_NFSD_V4_SECURITY_LABEL is enabled by all major distributions, so no rare configuration is required.\nPR:N - Reaching nfsd4_encode_fattr4 needs only a filehandle obtained via PUTROOTFH/LOOKUP or PUTFH on an accessible export; with the ubiquitous sec=sys (AUTH_SYS) flavor there is no cryptographic authentication at all — the client simply asserts a uid, so a remote unauthenticated peer permitted by the export list can issue the triggering GETATTR/READDIR.\nUI:N - The attacker issues the NFSv4 COMPOUND requests and holds the conflicting delegation entirely on its own. No action by any administrator or other user on the server is required.\nS:U - The bad free corrupts the kernel's own slab allocator within the same security authority as the nfsd thread. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Freeing an uninitialized pointer — and in the READDIR loop, double-freeing an already-released SELinux context buffer that another allocation now owns — yields a use-after-free giving the attacker a stale reference to live kernel objects, which is the standard primitive for disclosing arbitrary kernel memory. The stack slot is also attacker-groomable via the preceding COMPOUND operations, making the freed target selectable.\nI:H - An arbitrary/double free is a full memory-corruption primitive: the reclaimed slab object can be sprayed with attacker-chosen data from concurrent NFS requests, producing a write primitive and control-flow hijack in kernel context. This is at least as strong as a plain use-after-free, which is scored High.\nA:H - kfree() on arbitrary uninitialized stack residue — a stack pointer, a non-slab address, or an already-freed object — triggers slab corruption, a BUG in the allocator, or an oops in the nfsd kthread, panicking the server. The trigger is repeatable at will, so an attacker can reliably take the NFS server down."
