The fully-controllable, reliable attack is local (a remote file-server scenario would lose attacker control of the race).\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race \u2014 the lifecycle of the unrelated (unprivileged inotify) mark and the retried file operation \u2014 and each open() is a fresh permission event, so with unlimited retries the bypass is reliably reachable.\nPR:L - Exploitation only needs an unprivileged local account: creating an inotify watch on the parent directory and opening/executing the target file require no capabilities (the privileged CAP_SYS_ADMIN fanotify group is the victim control, not the attacker).\nUI:N - The attacker performs all actions (inotify churn plus repeated file access) with no interaction from any other user.\nS:U - The flaw and its impact are both mediated entirely within the kernel\u0027s own access-control path; no boundary to a separately-managed security authority (VM, IOMMU) is crossed.\nC:H - Bypassing FAN_ACCESS_PERM/FAN_OPEN_PERM lets read access to files the policy (AV/sandbox/EDR) would deny proceed; via targeted retries the attacker can force disclosure of chosen protected files, approaching total loss of confidentiality of protected resources.\nI:H - Bypassing FAN_OPEN_PERM/FAN_OPEN_EXEC_PERM lets writes to protected files and execution of binaries the policy would block proceed, allowing modification of protected resources and execution of disallowed code.\nA:N - The bug is fail-open (it only allows operations that should be blocked); it causes no crash, hang, or resource exhaustion, so availability is unaffected."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
