adjacent-protocol path into fs/jfs.\nAC:L - dn_l2nbperpage is taken verbatim from the on-disk bmap descriptor, so the attacker sets the out-of-range shift amount deterministically; any subsequent free/truncate/umount path that calls BLKTODMAP/dbFree hits the bug with no race or uncontrollable state.\nPR:L - As with sibling JFS crafted-image CVEs, an unprivileged local session user can get the malicious image attached via udisks2/polkit/automount on desktops, kiosks, and shared workstations, then trigger dbFree with ordinary file operations or unmount on that volume.\nUI:N - The attacker supplies the image, causes it to be mounted (including via automount/udisks on their own session), and drives the free/umount path themselves; no separate victim action is required at exploitation time.\nS:U - Wrong metapage selection and allocator/metadata corruption stay inside the kernel\u2019s own memory and security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - An oversized db_l2nbperpage makes BLKTODMAP compute attacker-influenced logical block numbers so dbFree reads the wrong (still attacker-controlled) dmap metapage and walks its summary tree/bitmaps, yielding out-of-bounds reads of adjacent kernel/metapage memory that can be leveraged for disclosure, consistent with other JFS dmap shift-OOB scores.\nI:H - dbFreeDmap/dbFreeBits then write wmap/tree/nfree and in-memory db_agfree[] based on that wrong page and undefined shift results, corrupting heap-backed metapage and bmap state into a write primitive suitable for control-flow hijacking under the higher-severity rule for memory corruption.\nA:H - Syzbot reproduced this as UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in dbFree (panic under UBSAN_TRAP/panic_on_warn), and the corrupted
