[ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - Exploitation requires local setsockopt(SO_ATMQOS) on an AF_ATMPVC socket and reading /proc/net/atm/pvc; no remote network packet or protocol handler reaches check_tp() or pvc_info().\nAC:L - On systems with an existing ATM PVC device, an attacker deterministically sets an out-of-range traffic_class via SO_ATMQOS before connect and triggers the OOB read by reading /proc/net/atm/pvc with no race or special memory layout needed.\nPR:L - No capability check guards SO_ATMQOS on unconnected sockets; any unprivileged local user in init_net can create AF_ATMPVC sockets (module autoloadable) and read world-readable /proc/net/atm/pvc without CAP_NET_ADMIN.\nUI:N - The attacker controls both poisoning vcc->qos via setsockopt and triggering pvc_info() by reading procfs; no victim action or cooperation is required.\nS:U - Impact is kernel memory disclosure within the host kernel security boundary; no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or sandbox boundary crossing occurs.\nC:H - Out-of-bounds indexing of class_name[] loads adjacent kernel pointers that seq_printf() dereferences with %s, disclosing kernel memory contents into the procfs read buffer visible to the attacker.\nI:N - The flaw is an out-of-bounds read of static pointer tables with no memory corruption, arbitrary write, or control-flow hijack primitive; kernel or user data integrity is not modified.\nA:H - Dereferencing attacker-influenced out-of-bounds pointers via %s can fault on unmappable addresses and oops the kernel; even without reliable crash, OOB kernel reads carry high availability risk per conservative scoring." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
