{

"value": "AV:L - The bug is reached only by a local read(2) on /sys/class/hwmon/hwmonN/in2_min_alarm (sysfs -> hwmon_attr_show -> ltc4282_read -> ltc4282_read_in); the LTC4282 I2C hwmon driver has no network, wireless, or direct physical-bus attack surface.\nAC:L - On systems with an LTC4282 bound, any read of in2_min_alarm deterministically executes the missing-return fallthrough and out-of-bounds in0_1_cache[2].en access; the attacker fully controls triggering with no race or conditions outside their control.\nPR:L - in2_min_alarm is exposed as mode 0444 with no capability checks beyond standard sysfs permissions, so any unprivileged local user on a host with LTC4282 hardware can invoke the vulnerable read path without init-namespace root or user-namespace privileges.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only the attacker (or attacker-controlled monitoring software) to read the hwmon sysfs attribute; no separate victim action such as plugging hardware, mounting filesystems, or approving prompts is needed.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read and conditional hardware alarm-bit clearing remain within the host kernel/driver context managing the local LTC4282; they do not cross VM, container, IOMMU, or other changed security-authority boundaries.\nC:H - The fallthrough indexes in0_1_cache[2] past the two-element array, performing an out-of-bounds read of adjacent ltc4282_state memory (energy_en/padding) that steers control flow and can return incorrect in2_min_alarm data to userspace.\nI:H - When the out-of-bounds .en byte is non-zero, the fallthrough calls __ltc4282_read_alarm() with VSOURCE_ALARM_L_MASK, clearing the VSOURCE undervoltage alarm bit on the live LTC4282 hot-swap controller and corrupting safety-critical power-rail monitoring on datacenter/telecom racks.\nA:H - Clearing VSOURCE undervoltage alarms on an LTC4282 controlling live backplane/linecard hot-swap power can mask critical rail faults, enabling undetected power events and sustained rack or linecard outages on affected server and industrial deployments."
