"value": "AV:N - The tls_write_space callback is triggered by a remote TCP peer sending ACKs, which causes tcp_data_snd_check → tcp_check_space → tcp_new_space → sk->sk_write_space (tls_write_space). Any server using kTLS (nginx, HAProxy, NFS with TLS) is reachable over the network.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race: they send TCP ACKs to trigger tls_write_space and initiate disconnect to trigger the close path. With repeated connection attempts and ACK flooding, the race window is reliably winnable.\nPR:N - No authentication or privileges are needed to establish a TCP connection and send ACKs to a kTLS-enabled server. The race is triggered during normal TCP processing before any application-level authentication occurs.\nUI:N - No user interaction is needed. The attacker connects to the server, sends ACKs, and disconnects to trigger the race. The server processes this automatically.\nS:U - The vulnerability results in kernel-level use-after-free within the same security authority (kernel space). There is no crossing of a virtualization or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - This is a use-after-free where the freed tls_sw_context_tx (freed via immediate kfree, not kfree_rcu) can be reallocated with attacker-influenced data. The UAF gives read access to reallocated memory contents, enabling arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The UAF on the tls_sw_context_tx structure enables heap spraying to control the freed object's contents. The tx_work_handler then calls tls_tx_records through corrupted context pointers, enabling control flow hijacking and arbitrary code execution.\nA:H - The use-after-free on the embedded delayed_work struct causes kernel crashes when the workqueue attempts to execute the freed work item, resulting in kernel panic or oops."
