{

"value": "AV:N - ksmbd is the in-kernel SMB server listening on TCP/445; the entire path (oplock grant, oplock break trigger, and the connection reset that wins the race) is driven purely by SMB2 traffic from remote clients.\nAC:L - The attacker owns both sides of the race — connection A holds the oplock, connection B triggers the break notification, and the attacker chooses exactly when to reset A's socket — and can retry the sequence unlimited times over the network.\nPR:L - Reaching an oplock/lease break requires an established SMB2 session and tree connect (SMB2_CREATE with an oplock or lease context), so valid low-privileged share credentials (or a guest mapping) are needed; it is not a pre-authentication code path.\nUI:N - No victim action is required — the attacker's own two connections create the oplock, trigger the break, and tear down the connection entirely on their own schedule.\nS:U - The use-after-free is confined to kernel memory within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The freed ksmbd_conn/tcp_transport objects are dereferenced after release, and reclaiming those kmalloc-64 slots with attacker-sprayed data yields a read primitive over kernel memory and leaks server/session state.\nI:H - ksmbd_conn_write() performs an indirect call through conn->transport->ops->writev read out of the freed transport, giving control-flow hijack and arbitrary-write potential once the slab is reclaimed with controlled contents.\nA:H - Even without successful grooming the stale dereference of the freed connection, transport, and released socket reliably oopses or panics the kernel, killing the SMB server host."
