"value": "AV:L - The flaw is in KVM s390 host page-table walking triggered by local guest hypervisor intercepts (UVC, ESSA) and /dev/kvm ioctls, not by remote network packet handling.\nAC:L - An attacker can control both sides of the race using multiple vCPUs or threads to concurrently trigger KVM gmap unmap/PV operations while host backing mappings are torn down via slot changes or ballooning.\nPR:N - A malicious s390 KVM guest can reach the vulnerable paths through hypervisor instruction intercepts without requiring host administrator privileges or CAP_SYS_ADMIN on the hypervisor.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only attacker-controlled guest execution and concurrent memory management activity, with no additional victim actions such as opening files or mounting filesystems.\nS:C - Corrupting host kernel page tables while servicing guest memory operations crosses the guest-host virtualization security boundary and enables VM escape-class impact on shared IBM Z KVM hosts.\nC:H - The race dereferences freed intermediate page-table pages and can yield attacker-influenced PTE pointers, enabling arbitrary kernel memory disclosure through subsequent PTE reads.\nI:H - Corrupted PTE pointers lead to atomic PTE bit updates and secure-page folio operations on attacker-chosen kernel memory, providing a plausible path to arbitrary write or code execution.\nA:H - Dereferencing freed or collapsed page-table structures or corrupting PTEs can cause kernel oops, panic, or repeated guest-triggered crashes denying host availability."
