"value": "AV:N - A received IPv4/IPv6 packet that ip_forward()/ip6_forward() passes through xfrm4_route_forward()/xfrm6_route_forward() reaches xfrm4_output()/xfrm6_output() then xfrm_output(); for an XFRM_DEV_OFFLOAD_PACKET tunnel SA with skb->sk NULL, that forwarded inner IP packet is what xfrm_dev_direct_output() processes.\nAC:L - xfrm_dev_direct_output() calls nf_reset_ct() then dst->ops->local_out (__ip_local_out/__ip6_local_out), so NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT consumes the skb on DROP/QUEUE/STOLEN. The attacker owns the forwarded packet and can force that verdict (iptables/nft DROP, or nf_conntrack_in() NF_DROP when resolve_normal_ct() fails after flooding new 5-tuples); no race is required.\nPR:N - ip_forward() and ip6_forward() take the skb with no socket or credentials; XFRM matching is only the received packet's IP selectors, not an authenticated session. CAP_NET_ADMIN is needed on the victim to install the packet-offload SA, not for the attacker who sends the inner packet.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the bug only by sending IP packets that an already-configured packet-offload tunnel gateway forwards into xfrm_dev_direct_output(); no victim mount, open, or confirmation is required at exploit time.\nS:U - The sk_buff double-free in xfrm_dev_direct_output() corrupts kernel heap in the same kernel that performs IPsec output and is not a KVM/Xen guest-to-host escape or an IOMMU/DMA boundary bypass.\nC:H - When local_out() returns != 1, nf_hook_slow() has already kfree_skb_reason()'d the skb on NF_DROP (or another owner holds it); the extra kfree_skb() in xfrm_dev_direct_output() is a sk_buff slab double-free that can be reclaimed with crafted packets to read kernel memory.\nI:H - The same sk_buff double-free after __ip_local_out()/__ip6_local_out() transfers ownership lets the attacker reallocate the freed object and obtain a kernel write and control-flow hijack primitive, not a crash-only integrity effect.\nA:H - The extra kfree_skb() in xfrm_dev_direct_output() when local_out() has already consumed the skb corrupts the sk_buff cache and causes a kernel oops or panic."
