"scenarios": [
{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The negative length originates from skb metadata (csum_start vs. transport header offset) that the attacker sets locally via an AF_PACKET/tun socket with virtio_net_hdr, not from remote packet header fields — every RX path that derives lengths from peer-supplied headers validates them first (e.g. `tcf_csum_skb_nextlayer()`'s `ipl < hl` check). Exploitation therefore requires local socket API access.\nAC:L - The attacker deterministically chooses csum_start, csum_offset and gso_size in the virtio_net_hdr and immediately drives the packet through the GSO segmentation path; there is no race, no memory-layout dependency, and no state outside the attacker's control.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user can obtain CAP_NET_RAW in a new user+network namespace (`unshare -Urn`) and open the AF_PACKET socket needed to inject the crafted virtio_net_hdr; no real root and no init-namespace capability is required.\nUI:N - The entire sequence is a single sendmsg() by the attacker's own process; no victim action, mount, or file open is involved.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read stays within the kernel's own address space and security authority — there is no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed.\nC:H - This is a slab-out-of-bounds read (KASAN reports it as an unbounded ~4 GB read) whose out-of-bounds bytes are folded into the checksum that is then written into the outgoing packet header and transmitted, giving the attacker an observable channel onto adjacent kernel heap contents.\nI:L - The undefined shift makes the tail-masking meaningless, so a corrupted checksum is computed from out-of-bounds data and stored into the transmitted packet's checksum field; this modifies network data but yields no kernel memory write primitive.\nA:H - On KASAN/UBSAN-instrumented kernels the negative length produces a slab-out-of-bounds report and an undefined-shift splat that panics under the widely deployed panic_on_warn setting, and the huge shadow-memory scan from `kasan_check_read()` with a ~4 GB size makes an oops the expected outcome."
