"value": "AV:N - The vulnerable code is the GUE/FOU GRO receive handler, reached purely from an inbound UDP datagram addressed to the configured FOU port via napi_gro_receive \u2192 inet_gro_receive \u2192 udp4_gro_receive \u2192 gue_gro_receive. A remote attacker anywhere on the network can drive this path with crafted packets.\nAC:L - The attacker can flood the FOU port continuously so a packet is always in flight, and FOU/netns teardown (the window where sk_user_data is NULL) is routine, frequent churn on container and cloud hosts that use FOU-encapsulated tunnels. The attacker also controls the value in the uninitialized stack slot by first sending a GUE packet with GUE_PFLAG_REMCSUM, which stores attacker-derived offset/delta into that exact frame slot in the same function.\nPR:N - There is no authentication, credential check, or capability test anywhere between packet reception and gue_gro_receive; the FOU socket accepts unsolicited datagrams. No local account or privilege of any kind is required.\nUI:N - Exploitation occurs entirely in softirq context on packet receipt with no victim action required.\nS:U - The uninitialized-value use and the resulting write both occur within the kernel\u0027s own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The bug reads uninitialized kernel stack memory and folds it into a 16-bit value written into an in-flight network buffer, and the same defect provides an out-of-bounds write primitive at a partially attacker-influenced offset, which under kernel scoring practice is treated as leverageable for arbitrary memory disclosure.\nI:H - remcsum_unadjust() performs a 2-byte write through a pointer computed from the uninitialized (and attacker-groomable) grc-\u003eoffset; when the size_t arithmetic wraps the write lands far outside any legitimate buffer, giving an out-of-bounds write into kernel memory that can be leveraged for control-flow-relevant corruption.\nA:H - The wild-pointer 2-byte write at frag0 + ~4GiB faults on unmapped kernel memory and oopses in softirq context, and the surrounding corruption of GRO/checksum state destabilises the receive path \u2014 a remote unauthenticated kernel crash."

A remote attacker anywhere on the network can drive this path with crafted packets.\nAC:L - The attacker can flood the FOU port continuously so a packet is always in flight, and FOU/netns teardown (the window where sk_user_data is NULL) is routine, frequent churn on container and cloud hosts that use FOU-encapsulated tunnels. The attacker also controls the value in the uninitialized stack slot by first sending a GUE packet with GUE_PFLAG_REMCSUM, which stores attacker-derived offset/delta into that exact frame slot in the same function.\nPR:N - There is no authentication, credential check, or capability test anywhere between packet reception and gue_gro_receive; the FOU socket accepts unsolicited datagrams. No local account or privilege of any kind is required.\nUI:N - Exploitation occurs entirely in softirq context on packet receipt with no victim action required.\nS:U - The uninitialized-value use and the resulting write both occur within the kernel\u0027s own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The bug reads uninitialized kernel stack memory and folds it into a 16-bit value written into an in-flight network buffer, and the same defect provides an out-of-bounds write primitive at a partially attacker-influenced offset, which under kernel scoring practice is treated as leverageable for arbitrary memory disclosure.\nI:H - remcsum_unadjust() performs a 2-byte write through a pointer computed from the uninitialized (and attacker-groomable) grc-\u003eoffset; when the size_t arithmetic wraps the write lands far outside any legitimate buffer, giving an out-of-bounds write into kernel memory that can be leveraged for control-flow-relevant corruption.\nA:H - The wild-pointer 2-byte write at frag0 + ~4GiB faults on unmapped kernel memory and oopses in softirq context, and the surrounding corruption of GRO/checksum state destabilises the receive path \u2014 a remote unauthenticated kernel crash."
