That is a local sysfs/PCI-unbind path, not a network or Fibre Channel frame handler.\nAC:L - An attacker can loop-read /sys/class/scsi_host/hostN/84xx_fw_version while teardown runs. qla84xx_put_chip() freed cs84xx before scsi_remove_host(), leaving a large window through timer stop, DMA free, workqueue destroy, and fc_remove_host(). The attacker controls the sysfs side and can retry.\nPR:L - 84xx_fw_version is DEVICE_ATTR(..., S_IRUGO) with no capable() check in qla24xx_84xx_fw_version_show(), so an unprivileged local user can read it. Per CNA driver-removal UAF precedent, concurrent PCI unbind or rmmod does not require the attacker to hold init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker performs their own sysfs reads against 84xx_fw_version and can race routine driver unbind, rmmod, or PCI hot-remove. No separate victim action such as mounting a filesystem or confirming a prompt is required.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts the host kernel heap object qla_chip_state_84xx within the same kernel security authority. It is not a VM escape, IOMMU/DMA isolation bypass, or sandbox breakout.\nC:H - qla84xx_put_chip() kfree()s ha->cs84xx without clearing the pointer; a concurrent show() dereferences ha->cs84xx->op_fw_version. This kernel heap UAF lets a reused object be read, enabling arbitrary kernel information disclosure.\nI:H - If the reused object's op_fw_version is zero, show() calls qla84xx_verify_chip(), which takes ha->cs84xx->access_lock and writes op_fw_version on the freed object. Heap spraying that UAF yields arbitrary write and control-flow hijack primitives.\nA:H - Dereferencing the freed cs84xx pointer from sysfs context oopses or panics the kernel even when the UAF is not fully converted into a read/write primitive, so availability impact is complete."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
