"scenarios": [
{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable code is reached via the netlink BATADV_CMD_TP_METER command (local genl socket) or via mesh packets injected into a locally-set-up batadv interface; batman-adv is an L2 mesh protocol, not internet-routable, so this requires local access rather than Network.\nAC:L - This is a teardown race, but a local attacker controls both sides — repeatedly creating/destroying the soft interface (driving mesh_free/batadv_tp_stop_all) in one thread while starting tp_meter sessions in another — and can retry the loop indefinitely until the window is won.\nPR:L - TP_METER is gated by GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM (namespaced CAP_NET_ADMIN), which an unprivileged user obtains via `unshare -Urn`, then creates their own batadv mesh interface; no real root is required.\nUI:N - The attacker drives both the session start and the interface teardown themselves; no action by any other user is needed.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap objects within the kernel's own security authority; there is no crossing of a VM/IOMMU/sandbox boundary.\nC:H - The surviving session holds a dangling pointer to freed tp_vars/bat_priv memory; reclaiming and reading that freed object enables disclosure of kernel memory contents.\nI:H - The use-after-free permits heap spraying of the freed object and a controlled write through the stale timer/kthread/work references, enabling memory corruption and potential control-flow hijack.\nA:H - A timer/kthread/delayed work operating on freed mesh structures reliably triggers an oops/panic, crashing the kernel."
