"scenarios": [
{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The demonstrated trigger path is a local rtnetlink sendmsg that changes network device state and causes gratuitous ARP generation through arp_create(). Remote ARP paths can call arp_create(), but the UAF condition depends on locally controlled virtual device/headroom state such as ip6gre stacking.\nAC:L - Once the affected device configuration is present, triggering arp_create() and the ip6gre_header() head expansion is straightforward. Any needed setup or race is controlled by the local attacker through netlink operations.\nPR:L - The relevant rtnetlink operations require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the target network namespace. This is low privilege because an unprivileged local user can obtain CAP_NET_ADMIN in a new user/network namespace on systems with user namespaces enabled.\nUI:N - No victim action is required after the attacker performs the local network configuration and trigger operation. The vulnerable path runs in kernel networking code.\nS:U - The corruption occurs within the kernel networking subsystem and impacts the same kernel security authority. It does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other separate security boundary.\nC:H - The bug is a slab use-after-free write after pskb_expand_head() moves skb->head, leaving arp_create() writing through a stale pointer. Kernel UAF memory corruption can be leveraged for information disclosure, so confidentiality impact is high.\nI:H - The stale ARP header pointer is used for attacker-influenced writes into freed kernel heap memory. This is memory corruption with plausible control-flow or object corruption exploitation, so integrity impact is high.\nA:H - KASAN reports confirm a slab-use-after-free write in arp_create(), and such corruption can directly crash or panic the kernel. Repeated triggering can cause system-wide denial of service."
