The table author sets those AML bytes, with no race.\nPR:N - acpi_bus_init() calls acpi_load_tables() at boot with no capable() check, so a DSDT/SSDT whose FieldList is truncated reaches acpi_ps_get_next_field() with no Linux uid or user-namespace privilege.\nUI:N - acpi_ns_execute_table() parses module-level Field/BankField/IndexField opcodes while acpi_load_tables() runs from acpi_bus_init() on ordinary power-on; no victim mount, sysfs open, or module load is required to reach acpi_ps_get_next_field().\nS:U - The over-read is of kernel heap adjacent to the ACPI table buffer parsed by host ACPICA in acpi_ps_get_next_field(); it does not cross a KVM/Xen, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - Without aml_end checks, acpi_ps_get_next_field() ACPI_MOVE_32_TO_32-reads a NameSeg and ACPI_GET8-reads Access/ExtAccess bytes past the table heap object (ASAN: 4-byte read past a 175-byte allocation). ARGP_FIELDLIST keeps looping while aml \u003c pkg_end from the attacker-chosen Field PkgLength, so the walk is not capped to a few header bytes.\nI:N - ASAN reports a READ of size 4 in AcpiPsGetNextField; ACPI_MOVE_32_TO_32 and ACPI_GET8 only fill local name/access_type variables and the newly allocated field op. The function never stores through parser_state-\u003eaml, so there is no out-of-bounds write.\nA:H - The ASAN heap-buffer-overflow is the NamedField ACPI_MOVE_32_TO_32 immediately past the 175-byte table allocation (shadow redzone). A read off that slab object during acpi_load_tables() can oops or panic the kernel at boot."
