"baseScore": 7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH"}, "scenarios": [{"lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The bug is reached only through local kernel networking control paths: fib_rules_dump() runs during register_fib_notifier() and races with RTM_DELRULE netlink handling in fib_delrule(), not via remotely received packets or a network-facing protocol handler.\nAC:L - Exploitation is a race where the attacker concurrently deletes FIB rules (repeated RTM_DELRULE or netns teardown) while fib_rules_dump() replays RULE_ADD events; the attacker controls both sides and can retry, as demonstrated by syzbot during netdevsim reload/cleanup_net.\nPR:L - Triggering concurrent FIB rule deletion requires CAP_NET_ADMIN on the target network namespace, which unprivileged users can obtain inside user/network namespaces (e.g., unshare -Urn), while driver registration commonly occurs in the same namespace during netdevsim/devlink setup.\nUI:N - No end-user or administrator UI action is required beyond programmatic netlink/devlink operations that an attacker can script; exploitation does not depend on a victim opening files, clicking links, or mounting filesystems.\nS:U - Impact is a kernel heap use-after-free in fib_rule handling leading to memory corruption within the host kernel; it does not inherently cross a VM/hypervisor or IOMMU security boundary without separate exploitation of unrelated boundaries.\nC:H - A dying fib_rule can be passed to FIB notifiers after its refcount hits zero; handlers such as rocker_router_fib_event() call fib_rule_get() and later dereference rule fields in workqueues, enabling reads of freed slab memory and potential kernel pointer disclosure.\nI:H - The UAF hands attackers control over the lifetime and contents of freed fib_rule objects; with heap grooming this class of corruption is reasonably leveraged into arbitrary kernel writes or control-flow hijack, not merely a benign warning.\nA:H - refcount_inc() on a zero refcount emits use-after-free warnings and concurrent dereference of freed fib_rule structures during dump/replay can cause kernel oops/panics, especially under automated stress seen in syzbot reproductions."}]}],
