local access to debugfs via read() on /sys/kernel/debug/ceph/client*/monmap concurrent with local ceph client teardown via umount or rbd unmap; the bug is not reachable through Ceph network protocol handlers.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race by concurrently reading the monmap debugfs file while triggering ceph_destroy_client() via umount/rbd teardown, and can retry until the window between ceph_monc_stop() and debugfs removal is hit.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user can use user-namespace capabilities (CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH) to read root-owned debugfs files and race reads against libceph client teardown during automated volume detach or service restarts on Ceph storage nodes.\nUI:N - No victim user interaction is required; a local attacker can independently issue debugfs reads and trigger or time against client teardown without requiring another user to click, open files, or mount filesystems.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap memory within the same kernel security domain and does not cross VM, container, or IOMMU boundaries; impact is standard kernel privilege escalation or crash.\nC:H - The use-after-free on monc->monmap permits reading freed heap memory containing monitor addresses and entity metadata, and UAF primitives are routinely leveraged for arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - Heap use-after-free on the variable-length ceph_monmap structure enables memory corruption that can be groomed into arbitrary kernel write primitives and local privilege escalation via control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - Concurrent access to freed monmap memory during debugfs iteration can cause kernel oops, BUG, or panic, and UAF corruption reliably threatens system availability even when full exploitation is not attempted." } ] } ],
