"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\namt: fix use-after-free in AMT delayed works\n\nWhen an AMT device is removed, pending delayed works can still access\nthe freed amt_dev structure, which may result in kernel crashes or\nmemory corruption.\n\namt_dev_stop() cancels req_wq and discovery_wq with\ncancel_delayed_work_sync(), but these works can be scheduled again\nfrom event_wq after the cancellation. This allows delayed works to\naccess the freed amt_dev structure after the netdev has been released.\n\nThe following is a simple race scenario:\n\nCPU0 CPU1\n\namt_dev_stop()\ncancel_delayed_work_sync()\n amt_event_work()\n mod_delayed_work(req_wq)\nfree netdev\n req_wq accesses freed amt_dev\n\nUse disable_delayed_work_sync() in amt_dev_stop() to prevent req_wq and\ndiscovery_wq from being queued again and wait for running work items\nto complete.\n\nThe delayed works are disabled after initialization in\namt_newlink() and enabled only when the device is successfully opened.\nThis keeps the delayed work lifecycle synchronized with the lifetime\nof the AMT device."

"value": "AV:L - Exploitation requires triggering amt_dev_stop() via local rtnetlink (RTM_DELLINK/ip link del) or ndo_stop on an AMT gateway netdev; the UAF race in teardown is not reachable by remote UDP alone without this privileged local device-removal path.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race by concurrently deleting/bringing down the AMT interface while flooding AMT UDP packets or letting discovery/request timers fire, reliably re-queuing req_wq/discovery_wq via amt_event_work during the cancel_work_sync window.\nPR:L - Creating, opening, and removing AMT virtual interfaces requires CAP_NET_ADMIN via rtnetlink, which unprivileged users can obtain inside a user network namespace (unshare -Urn), but not without any privileges at all.\nUI:N - No victim user interaction is required; a single attacker with namespace CAP_NET_ADMIN can create an AMT gateway, bring it up, and race interface teardown against self-generated AMT traffic or delayed-work events.\nS:U - Successful exploitation corrupts kernel heap memory and can escalate privileges within the same kernel, but does not inherently cross VM, container, or IOMMU security boundaries into a separate authority domain.\nC:H - Use-after-free of the amt_dev structure embedded in netdev private data allows accessing attacker-influenced freed heap memory, enabling arbitrary kernel memory disclosure through standard UAF exploitation techniques.\nI:H - The UAF on amt_dev delayed-work handlers can corrupt kernel heap metadata and adjacent objects, providing primitives for arbitrary kernel memory writes and potential code execution as acknowledged in the fix commit.\nA:H - Use-after-free in amt_req_work/amt_discovery_work accessing freed amt_dev during netdev teardown can cause kernel oops, panic, or hang, and the fix commit explicitly warns of kernel crashes and memory corruption."
