{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:N - crypto_krb5_prepare_encryption() and crypto_krb5_prepare_checksum() run from nfsd RPCSEC_GSS on TCP/2049, from in-kernel RxGK handshake processing of remote RESPONSE packets (rxgk_extract_token/rxgk_set_up_token_cipher), and from Ceph/AFS network-filesystem security, so a remote peer can cause derived Kerberos keys to be left in freed slab.\nAC:L - Each prepare path derives Ke/Ki/Kc into a kmalloc buffer then frees it with plain kfree(); the leftover is deterministic on every GSS/RxGK/Ceph context setup, with no race or attacker-uncontrollable memory layout required to leave the keys in the slab.\nPR:N - RxGK token-cipher setup runs while decrypting the authentication token, before the token or authenticator is verified, and nfsd RPCSEC_GSS INIT is the authentication handshake; a network peer needs no local Linux account or capability to drive these pre-auth paths.\nUI:N - A Kerberos NFS server or RxRPC/AFS endpoint automatically processes incoming GSS/RxGK handshake packets; no victim mount, click, or other interactive action is required at exploit time.\nS:U - Leftover keys remain in host-kernel slab; this is ordinary kernel information disclosure within the same security authority, not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or sandbox breakout.\nC:H - The freed buffers hold complete derived Kerberos encryption and integrity keys (Ke/Ki/Kc, up to 32-byte AES-256 material). Recovering them from reused slab yields full session-key disclosure for NFS, AFS, Ceph, or RxGK traffic.\nI:N - The bug only fails to wipe key material before kfree(); it does not corrupt kernel memory, provide a write primitive, or hijack control flow.\nA:N - Replacing kfree() with kfree_sensitive() does not affect control flow; the plain kfree() path does not oops, deadlock, leak allocator objects, or otherwise impact availability."
