Any local process on the machine can reach bitmap_get_stats() through seq_read → md_seq_show → md_bitmap_status.\nAC:L - On an array with an external-metadata bitmap (IMSM/DDF via mdmon), storage.sb_page is permanently NULL, so a single unconditional `cat /proc/mdstat` deterministically faults — no race to win. The lifetime-race variant is likewise attacker-driven, since the attacker can spin on /proc/mdstat reads at arbitrary rate to hit the resize/load/destroy window.\nPR:L - /proc/mdstat is world-readable (S_IRUGO) with no capability check in md_seq_open() or md_seq_show(), so only an ordinary unprivileged local account is needed. The vulnerable array configuration is an environmental precondition set by the administrator or mdmon, not a privilege the attacker must hold.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the bug entirely on its own by reading /proc/mdstat; no victim action, mount, or file open by another user is required. Existing md arrays are enumerated automatically by the seq_file iterator.\nS:U - The corruption and its consequences stay within the kernel's own security authority on the same host, with no crossing of a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary. This is a standard in-kernel memory-safety defect.\nC:H - The unsynchronized access dereferences bitmap storage that concurrent __bitmap_resize()/bitmap_load()/bitmap_destroy() may have freed, kmapping a stale struct page and passing a dangling struct file to seq_file_path(), whose result is printed into the attacker-read /proc/mdstat. A groomed reallocation of the freed object turns this into a kernel-memory read primitive with the data disclosed to userspace.\nI:H - This is a use-after-free/lifetime defect on the bitmap and its storage, and a stale sb_page pointer controlled via heap reallocation is handed to kmap_local_page(), letting attacker-influenced kernel state drive subsequent memory accesses. Consistent with kernel UAF scoring, the corrupted-object dereference is treated as exploitable for control over kernel data.\nA:H - The reported and reproducible outcome is a general protection fault on a non-canonical address in bitmap_get_stats(), i.e. a kernel oops (panic with panic_on_oops), triggerable at will by any local user. Worse, the fault occurs while spin_lock(&mddev->lock) is held, leaking the spinlock and deadlocking all further md activity on that array." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor":
