There is no remote or network-facing path into drivers/dma/xilinx/xdma.c.\nAC:L - The attacker controls the terminate side of the race (issuing stream stop/STREAMOFF or PCM stop whenever it chooses) and can influence the interrupt side by selecting transfer/period sizes, and the attempt can be repeated indefinitely at no cost until the unlocked stop_requested read is mistimed.\nPR:L - Only an unprivileged local account with ordinary access to the audio or video device node backed by the XDMA channels is needed \u2014 no capabilities or root, since dmaengine_terminate_*/dmaengine_synchronize are invoked on behalf of normal PCM/V4L2 operations.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the start/stop transfer cycle entirely on its own; no action by another user or administrator is required.\nS:U - The corruption occurs in kernel memory (dma_pool descriptor blocks and client DMA buffers) managed by the same kernel security authority; no VM, sandbox, or IOMMU boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Losing the last-interrupt synchronization lets descriptor blocks and data buffers be freed and reused while the PCIe engine is still reading them, so card-to-host and host-to-card transfers can expose recycled kernel memory contents to the device and to subsequent users of those pages.\nI:H - The DMA engine can continue writing into freed/recycled dma_pool memory and follow stale or attacker-groomed descriptor contents, giving a memory-corruption write primitive against arbitrary kernel-mapped memory that is a classic path to control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The same use-after-free of live descriptor blocks reliably produces kernel memory corruption and oops/panic, and the missed completion also stalls xdma_synchronize() on its one-second timeout on every terminate."
