              "value": "AV:N - Both halves of the lock-order reversal are driven by SMB3 response frames received from the remote server \u2014 `smb2_decrypt_offload()` runs on server-supplied encrypted read payloads, and the mid states examined in `cifs_sync_mid_result()` are set solely by response parsing (`dequeue_mid()`, `handle_read_data()`). A malicious, compromised, or MITM\u0027d SMB server reaches the code purely over the network, matching this CNA\u0027s AV:N treatment of other cifs-client bugs (CVE-2024-39468, CVE-2024-42256).\nAC:L - The remote server controls both sides of the race \u2014 it chooses response size, encryption, timing, and error status, so it can drive `smb2_decrypt_offload()` into its `srv_lock`\u2192`mid_lock` branch on one CPU while forcing an unexpected mid state into `cifs_sync_mid_result()`\u0027s `mid_lock`\u2192`srv_lock` path on another, and it can repeat this indefinitely. Where the attacker creates the race, AC is Low.\nPR:N - The attacker is the remote SMB peer (or a network attacker able to spoof/hijack the SMB connection); no account, credential, or local privilege on the victim host is required to send the responses that trigger the deadlock.\nUI:N - Exploitation needs no victim action \u2014 the CIFS share is already mounted as a normal deployment condition (fstab/automount), and ordinary background I/O supplies the requests whose responses the attacker manipulates.\nS:U - The deadlock is confined to the kernel of the affected client machine; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:N - The bug is purely a lock acquisition-order violation \u2014 no memory is read out of bounds, no freed object is accessed, and no data is disclosed.\nI:N - No memory corruption, out-of-bounds write, or data modification occurs; the flaw only affects the order in which two spinlocks are taken.\nA:H - An ABBA deadlock on `srv_lock`/`mid_lock` permanently wedges two CPUs spinning with preemption disabled while holding both locks, hanging all CIFS I/O and every subsequent taker of either lock, resulting in a hard lockup/panic."

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.
