"value": "AV:L - The invalid free is reached only from local PSCI and RISC-V SBI CPU idle genpd bring-up (psci_cpuidle_domain_probe and sbi_genpd_probe calling dt_idle_pd_alloc/dt_idle_pd_free) on ARM phones, automotive, and RISC-V boards; no network, Bluetooth, or USB receive path calls this code.\nAC:L - After dt_idle_pd_alloc() succeeds, pd->name is an interior kbasename() pointer into the kasprintf() buffer; any later psci_pd_init/sbi_pd_init unwind (ENOMEM from genpd_alloc_data or pd_provider, or of_genpd_add_provider_simple failure) deterministically kfree()s that pointer, with no race or layout lottery.\nPR:N - Both callers are builtin initcalls (core_initcall/arch_initcall) whose platform probe runs automatically on hierarchical CPU idle DT with no capability or credential check, so a Linux account is not required to reach the vulnerable unwind.\nUI:N - Probe and error unwind run during kernel initialization and deferred-probe retries; no victim needs to mount a filesystem, open a device, or load a module.\nS:U - The interior-pointer kfree corrupts host kernel SLUB state within the same security authority and does not escape a VM, bypass IOMMU, or cross another sandbox boundary.\nC:H - kfree() of an interior kasprintf() pointer is an invalid free that corrupts slab metadata and overlapping objects; that memory-corruption primitive can be groomed into arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - SLUB treats the misaligned interior address as an object and corrupts the freelist; heap grooming can produce overlapping allocations and write primitives enabling control-flow hijack, matching this CNA's invalid-free scoring.\nA:H - Debug and KASAN builds oops on the invalid free, and without them the corrupted slab commonly panics during CPU idle genpd bring-up, so availability impact is a kernel crash."
