A local attacker could exploit a signed integer truncation vulnerability in the Inter-Process Communication (IPC) receive path. This flaw occurs when a firmware-supplied data size is incorrectly converted, leading to an oversized memory copy operation that can overflow a kernel stack buffer. Successful exploitation could result in a denial of service through a kernel crash and potentially lead to privilege escalation."

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable path is reached through local rtnetlink `RTM_NEWTFILTER`/`RTM_DELTFILTER` traffic-control netlink messages, not by remote packet input.\nAC:L - The race is attacker-controlled because the same local actor can issue concurrent filter creation and deletion operations against the same action index. No external victim timing or rare environmental condition is required.\nPR:L - The operations require `CAP_NET_ADMIN` for non-GET rtnetlink messages, but traffic control is reachable with `CAP_NET_ADMIN` inside a user-created network namespace. Under the provided kernel guidance, this is Low privileges rather than High.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is needed; exploitation consists of the attacker sending crafted concurrent rtnetlink requests.\nS:U - The impact is within the kernel security authority and is a standard local kernel memory-corruption/privilege-escalation class issue. It does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or separate authorization scope boundary.\nC:H - The bug is a use-after-free of a `tc_action` object during action lookup/refcounting. A kernel heap UAF can be shaped into disclosure primitives, so confidentiality impact is High.\nI:H - The stale freed action pointer can be reused after heap reallocation and then modified/dereferenced through refcount, bind count, ops, and action lifecycle fields. This is memory corruption that can plausibly support arbitrary write or code execution, so integrity impact is High.\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, the UAF can dereference or mutate freed/reused kernel memory and can crash or oops the kernel. Availability impact is therefore High."
