"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable code is reached only through the local `perf_event_open(2)` syscall on s390, via `cpumsf_pmu_event_init()` → `__hw_perf_event_init()`. There is no remote or adjacent-network path to the CPU-measurement sampling facility.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race by simply calling `perf_event_open()` from two or more of its own threads in a loop; `perf_try_init_event()` holds no global lock, and the race window spans a long `GFP_KERNEL` page-allocation loop (hundreds to thousands of pages, freely sleeping), making it trivially winnable.\nPR:L - Under the upstream default `perf_event_paranoid = 2`, an ordinary unprivileged user may open a per-task sampling event (`pid=self`, `cpu=-1`, `exclude_kernel=1`) with no capability at all, and that `cpu == -1` branch is precisely the one that allocates buffers on every online CPU. A local account is required, so not PR:N.\nUI:N - The attacking process triggers the race entirely on its own by issuing concurrent syscalls; no action by any other user or victim process is needed.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel memory managed by the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The racing `free_sampling_buffer()` treats still-zero SDBT entries as SDB pointers and walks past the end of the table page, reading unbounded adjacent kernel memory as physical addresses; combined with the resulting use-after-free, the hardware keeps writing sample data into freed/reallocated pages that the attacker reads back through the perf ring buffer.\nI:H - The race yields double-free, use-after-free writes into freed SDBT/SDB pages, and `free_page()` on in-use pages (including physical page 0 via `phys_to_virt(0)`), all classic page-allocator grooming primitives that can be escalated to arbitrary write and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - At minimum each won race orphans an entire SDBT/SDB chain (up to ~32 MB per online CPU) and can be repeated in a loop to exhaust memory; the double-free and freeing of live kernel pages readily produce a page-allocator BUG or panic."
