"scenarios": [
{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:A - XDomain discovery packets (TB_CFG_PKG_XDOMAIN_REQ) from a connected Thunderbolt/USB4 peer enter via tb_ctl_rx_callback → tb_domain_event_cb → tb_xdomain_handle_request → tb_xdp_schedule_request and are handled in tb_xdp_handle_request, which then reads tb->root_switch after software-CM tb_stop(). This is a local Thunderbolt fabric, not a routable IP protocol.\nAC:H - The UAF requires software-CM tb_stop() to have already run tb_switch_remove(tb->root_switch) without clearing the pointer. tb_stop() is only called from tb_domain_remove() in nhi_pci_remove (NHI unbind/PCI removal), which a Thunderbolt peer cannot induce; UUID_REQUEST and other XDomain messages only queue system_wq work that then races that teardown.\nPR:N - tb_domain_event_cb dispatches TB_CFG_PKG_XDOMAIN_REQ to tb_xdomain_handle_request whenever tb_is_xdomain_enabled() (default-on xdomain module param plus ACPI OSC), with no device authorization or local credentials; UUID_REQUEST is answered even when tb_xdomain_find_by_route_locked() finds no xdomain.\nUI:N - Once a Thunderbolt/USB4 link exists, the peer injects XDomain control packets itself and tb_xdp_handle_request runs with no mount, sysfs write, or authorization dialog. Domain teardown is an attacker-independent condition and is scored as AC:H rather than a required victim UI step.\nS:U - The dangling tb->root_switch and sw->uuid accesses corrupt host kernel heap state inside the Thunderbolt driver; this does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - After tb_stop() frees the host switch, tb_xdp_handle_request still holds tb->root_switch->uuid and tb_xdp_uuid_response() uuid_copy()s those 16 bytes into a UUID_RESPONSE sent back to the peer; UAF of struct tb_switch is also a kernel disclosure primitive.\nI:H - tb_xdomain_find_by_route() calls switch_find_xdomain(tb->root_switch) which walks the freed host switch via tb_switch_for_each_port, and later request handlers may operate on a reallocated tb_xdomain; that slab UAF can be sprayed into an arbitrary write or control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Dereferencing the freed root switch in tb_xdp_handle_request (uuid load) or switch_find_xdomain (port walk) oopses the system_wq kworker, crashing the host."
