{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is reached only through the local mount path (`get_tree_bdev` → `gfs2_fill_super`) acting on a block device or image file present on the system. There is no network-facing consumer of this code.\nAC:L - Any `gfs2_fill_super()` failure at or after `init_locking()` deterministically reaches the double `destroy_workqueue()`; a crafted image that passes `gfs2_check_sb()` but fails in `init_sb()` triggers it on every attempt with no race or memory-layout precondition. syzbot produced a reliable reproducer.\nPR:N - The attacker needs no privileges on the target — they only supply the malformed GFS2 image (removable media, downloaded image file, or attacker-controlled shared/SAN storage). The privilege for the mount itself belongs to the victim, not the attacker.\nUI:R - A privileged user or an automount/storage-management daemon must mount the attacker-supplied GFS2 volume for `gfs2_fill_super()` to run and fail.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel memory and kernel workqueue state within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The second `destroy_workqueue()` runs on a freed `workqueue_struct`, reading `flags`, `rescuer`, `pwqs`, and `cpu_pwq` from memory an attacker can reclaim via heap spraying, and using those values to drive kfree/kthread/list operations — a use-after-free read primitive leading to kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The use-after-free yields write primitives into the reclaimed object — `wq->flags |= __WQ_DESTROYING`, `list_del_rcu(&wq->list)` writing through attacker-influenced `prev`/`next` pointers, plus `kfree(wq->wq_dev)` and `kfree(rescuer)` on controlled pointers — sufficient for heap manipulation and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Even absent reallocation, the second `list_del_rcu()` corrupts the global `workqueues` list and dereferences `LIST_POISON2`, producing a guaranteed kernel oops/panic; workqueue-core corruption also destabilizes the whole system."
