"CRITICAL" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:N - The vulnerable path is the bcmgenet Ethernet transmit path, reachable when a network-facing embedded/router system sends replies or forwards attacker-supplied traffic through the affected interface.\nAC:L - The off-by-one cleanup is deterministic once the transmit error/reclaim path is reached, and an attacker can repeatedly drive transmit activity and resource pressure without needing to win an uncontrolled race.\nPR:N - No authentication or local account is required in the highest-impact network-facing deployment, because unauthenticated network traffic can cause packets to be transmitted through the driver.\nUI:N - Exploitation does not require a victim user to open a file, mount media, or perform any other interactive action.\nS:U - The impact remains within the kernel and the affected host's networking/DMA resources, without crossing a separate security authority such as a VM boundary.\nC:H - The wrong transmit control block can leave stale skb/DMA metadata and later operate on dangling kernel objects, making kernel memory disclosure a defensible worst-case outcome.\nI:H - The stale control-block cleanup can plausibly become double-free or use-after-free style kernel heap corruption, which is treated as high integrity impact.\nA:H - Even without full exploitation, incorrect cleanup of transmit control blocks and DMA mappings can corrupt driver state, leak resources, or crash/hang networking/kernel execution." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus":
