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's own security authority on the affected host, with no crossing of a VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor boundary.\nC:H - `seq_printf(\"%s\", action->name)` 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->lock` 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."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/gpu/drm/hisilicon/hibmc/hibmc_drm_drv.c"], "versions": [{"version": "b11bc1ae46587f3563c47078e605184f18e7fa57", "lessThan": "06d261a085a11600f5b577bb56a65fb2c3e57d0a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b11bc1ae46587f3563c47078e605184f18e7fa57", "lessThan": "8bed4ec42a4e0dc8113172696ff076d1eb6d8bcb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/gpu/drm/hisilicon/hibmc/hibmc_drm_drv.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.16", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.16", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.16.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.16.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.17", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "6.16.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "6.17"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/06d261a085a11600f5b577bb56a65fb2c3e57d0a"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8bed4ec42a4e0dc8113172696ff076d1eb6d8bcb"}], "title": "drm/hisilicon/hibmc: fix irq_request()'s irq name variable is local", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
