"value": "AV:N - ksmbd is the in-kernel SMB server listening on TCP/445, and the deadlock is triggered by a remote client sending an SMB2 CREATE for a named pipe on the IPC$ tree. No local access is needed.\nAC:L - This is an unconditional self-deadlock on a non-recursive rw_semaphore, hit deterministically on the very first named-pipe open — no race to win, no memory layout or timing dependency.\nPR:N - In the guest-mapping configuration common on ksmbd's NAS/embedded targets, ntlm_authenticate() skips NTLM password verification entirely for guest users, so an attacker with no credentials can establish a session, tree-connect to the always-present IPC$ share, and reach create_smb2_pipe().\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the deadlock purely by sending SMB2 protocol messages; no action by any local user or administrator is required.\nS:U - The deadlock affects kernel worker threads and ksmbd's own locks within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:N - The thread blocks in down_read() before doing anything else; no memory is freed, over-read, or leaked, and no data is disclosed to the attacker.\nI:N - No memory corruption or data modification occurs — the only effect is a permanently held lock, which yields no write primitive.\nA:H - An unkillable D-state kworker holds sess->rpc_lock forever, blocking connection teardown and — via ksmbd_sessions_deregister() holding the global sessions_table_lock — all sessions server-wide; destroy_workqueue() also hangs, so ksmbd cannot be restarted or unloaded and recovery requires a reboot."
