There is no network-facing consumer of this data.\nAC:L - The dangling pointer is installed unconditionally at driver probe on every affected system, so a single `cat /proc/interrupts` deterministically dereferences freed stack memory; the attacker can additionally groom the recycled VMAP task stack with fork/exit churn to control or unmap the target.\nPR:L - `/proc/interrupts` is created with mode 0444, so any unprivileged local user \u2014 including one confined to a container with `/proc` mounted \u2014 can trigger the read with no capabilities. No authentication beyond a normal shell is needed.\nUI:N - The attacker only reads a procfs file; no victim action, mount, or file-open by another user is required. The vulnerable state is established automatically at boot when the hibmc PCI device probes.\nS:U - The stale read and its consequences are confined to the kernel\u0027s own security authority on the affected host, with no crossing of a VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor boundary.\nC:H - `seq_printf(\"%s\", action-\u003ename)` walks memory unbounded until a NUL byte, dumping arbitrary kernel stack contents into a world-readable file \u2014 leaking kernel pointers (KASLR/heap defeat) and, because VMAP task stacks are recycled into other tasks, residual data from other and potentially privileged processes. This is not a small bounded read.\nI:H - The commit fixes a use-after-free: a dangling pointer is left embedded in the long-lived `irqaction` structure, and its target is attacker-groomable recycled kernel stack memory whose contents are then consumed by kernel formatting code and emitted into procfs and dmesg. Per use-after-free scoring this is treated as High.\nA:H - If the freed stack was `vfree_atomic()`d or the unbounded string walk crosses a vmap guard page, the fault occurs inside `show_interrupts()` while `desc-\u003elock` is held as a raw spinlock with IRQs disabled \u2014 an oops that leaves the IRQ descriptor lock permanently held, deadlocking subsequent IRQ and procfs access, and a full panic under `panic_on_oops`. Any unprivileged user, or routine readers like irqbalance and monitoring agents, can trigger it repeatedly."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
