              "value": "AV:L - The vulnerable code is reached through `ioctl(KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT)` on a local `/dev/kvm` vCPU file descriptor, or from a local VM guest via a PSCI CPU_ON SMC that queues `KVM_REQ_VCPU_RESET`. No network protocol is involved on either path.\nAC:L - The out-of-bounds shift is fully deterministic \u2014 no race, no memory-layout dependency, no timing window; the attacker simply enables `KVM_CAP_ARM_MTE` and initializes a vCPU, and the shift executes unconditionally under `kvm_has_mte()`.\nPR:L - No capability check exists anywhere along the path \u2014 only an open `/dev/kvm` descriptor, which unprivileged members of the `kvm` group hold on standard distributions, or control of a guest for the PSCI path. Not PR:N, since some local foothold is required.\nUI:N - Triggering requires only the attacker\u0027s own ioctl sequence or an SMC issued from inside a VM they already control; no action by any other user or administrator is needed.\nS:C - The defect crosses the host/guest security boundary in both directions \u2014 the host hypervisor writes architecturally-invalid CPU state into the guest, and via the guest-reachable PSCI `CPU_ON` path a VM-confined attacker drives a UBSAN violation in host kernel context, which under `CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP` or `panic_on_warn` takes down the host and every co-resident VM.\nC:L - There is no out-of-bounds read or memory disclosure primitive, but the UBSAN report and the `die()`/oops path dump host kernel addresses and a full backtrace to the kernel log, giving a bounded kernel-pointer leak that undermines KASLR for a locally-triggering attacker.\nI:L - The hypervisor stores a corrupted `CLIDR_EL1` with a reserved `Ctype` encoding and missing MTE `Ttypen` fields into guest-visible CPU state, so protected data across the boundary is modified \u2014 but the written value is fixed and not attacker-controlled, and there is no write primitive or control-flow hijack.\nA:H - `ubsan_epilogue()` calls `check_panic_on_warn(\"UBSAN\")`, panicking the host on the widely deployed `panic_on_warn=1` setting, and `CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y` turns the shift into a BRK handled by `die()` in kernel context while `kvm-\u003earch.config_lock` is held \u2014 a host kernel crash that destroys all running guests."

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

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.
