"AV:L - The bug is in the virtio-vsock guest driver reached via AF_VSOCK sockets and virtio virtqueue callbacks, not via remote network packets; kernel guidance classifies vsock as Local attack vector.\nAC:L - An attacker can reliably queue virtio_transport_rx_work by maintaining active vsock traffic while virtqueues are torn down; this slab UAF race is attacker-influenced and does not depend on uncontrollable memory layout.\nPR:L - Triggering the vulnerable RX refill path requires only normal unprivileged AF_VSOCK use to drive virtio RX work; teardown can coincide with host-driven suspend, migration, or device removal without guest root.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires no victim interaction beyond the attacker opening and using vsock sockets to generate virtio RX work during device teardown.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts guest-kernel virtio state and can panic the guest kernel; it does not directly cross a VM/host security boundary or enable guest-to-host escape.\nC:H - KASAN reports a slab use-after-free read in virtqueue_add_sgs on freed virtqueue metadata; UAF of kernel heap objects can be leveraged for arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - Use-after-free of virtqueue structures during virtio_vsock_rx_fill enables heap corruption and can be developed into arbitrary kernel writes or control-flow hijack, not merely a benign read.\nA:H - The reported reproducer triggers KASAN slab-use-after-free and kernel panic during virtio_vsock freeze/teardown; UAF in kernel workqueue context causes high availability impact." } ] } ], "affected":
