Per kernel scoring guidance, BPF syscall-reachable bugs are Local.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls `data_size_in`, `batch_size`, `repeat` and the XDP program, so the out-of-range read is triggered deterministically on every invocation with no race to win. Page-pool pages are freshly allocated non-zeroed pages, and the attacker can groom which freed pages get recycled by freeing chosen content immediately beforehand.\nPR:L - `bpf_prog_test_run()` performs no capability check whatsoever — the only gate is possession of an XDP program fd, which an unprivileged process can obtain via a delegated BPF token (`bpf_token_capable()` falls back to `ns_capable(token->userns, ...)`) or a bpffs pin, since `bpf_obj_do_get()` checks only file permissions. Loading a fresh XDP program needs CAP_BPF+CAP_NET_ADMIN, but that is a container/namespace-level privilege rather than real init-namespace root, so Low is the appropriate and higher-severity choice.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the entire sequence itself via the `bpf()` syscall; no victim action, mount, or file open is needed. The XDP frames are looped straight back into the local receive path by the test-run machinery.\nS:U - The stale-memory read, the disclosed data, and the resulting malformed skb all remain within the kernel's own security authority. No hypervisor, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - `eth_skb_pkt_type()`/`eth_type_trans()` read the contents of a previously-freed page, and the derived `skb->protocol` and `skb->pkt_type` are directly readable by an `AF_PACKET` observer on loopback, giving a repeatable, unbounded oracle over recycled kernel memory that may contain pointers, keys, or user data. Per guidance, use-after-free reads of freed memory are scored High.\nI:H - Contents of freed memory — which the attacker can influence through heap grooming — become the Ethernet header that determines `skb->protocol` and `skb->pkt_type` for a frame injected into the local network stack via `netif_receive_skb_list()`, corrupting packet classification and delivery. Per guidance, use-after-free conditions are scored High for integrity.\nA:H - The kernel dereferences memory beyond the initialized frame and hands a geometrically invalid skb (`skb->len < ETH_HLEN`, `mac_header == network_header`, `mac_len == 0`) to protocol handlers that assume `eth_type_trans()` pulled the header, and on hardened/KASAN/KMSAN builds the freed-page access itself is a fatal memory-error report. Per guidance, any use-after-free is scored High for availability." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
