An NFC peer can drive rx_work but cannot start that close: nfc_dev_down() returns -EBUSY while active_target is set, and nci_unregister_device() is driver teardown the peer cannot initiate.\nPR:N - nci_recv_frame()\u2192nci_rx_work() processes NCI frames with no capability or authentication check, so an in-range NFC peer needs no host account. GENL_ADMIN_PERM on nfc_genl_dev_down()/NFC_CMD_DEV_DOWN is only the victim-side close gate, not a privilege the adjacent attacker must hold.\nUI:N - With NFC already up and nci_transceive() having set NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE (normal for a polling reader or in-progress tag session), the peer's DATA packet completes via nci_rx_work with no further click, mount, or prompt; concurrent nci_close_device() is an AC condition, not a required victim action.\nS:U - The extra sock_put() in rawsock_data_exchange_complete() frees a host kernel struct sock; impact stays in the same kernel authority with no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or sandbox crossing.\nC:H - nci_close_device() and nci_rx_work() both read conn_info->data_exchange_cb and call rawsock_data_exchange_complete(), which sock_put()s the sk held once by sock_hold() in rawsock_tx_work(); the second put underflows that refcount and frees the socket while still referenced, a UAF read primitive.\nI:H - The same double sock_put() of the PF_NFC SOCK_SEQPACKET socket is a kernel UAF on struct sock, and the second callback runs against that freed object, giving a heap write/control-flow hijack primitive.\nA:H - Refcount underflow and the second rawsock_data_exchange_complete() on the already-freed sk (or __sk_destruct racing the second put, the path that also hit nci_close_device lockdep) cause a kernel oops or panic."}]}],
