              "value": "AV:L - The bug is reached through `ioctl(BCH_IOCTL_SUBVOLUME_DESTROY)` on any open file descriptor belonging to a mounted bcachefs filesystem, which requires local access to the system. There is no network-facing path into `bch2_fs_file_ioctl()`.\nAC:L - The attacker deterministically triggers both defects with a single ioctl call \u2014 no race, no memory-layout dependence, no timing window; the dcache state that wedges `bch2_evict_subvolume_inodes()` is created by the attacker simply by walking into the subvolume beforehand. No conditions lie outside the attacker\u0027s control.\nPR:L - `BCH_IOCTL_SUBVOLUME_DESTROY` has no `capable()` check and, before this fix, no `inode_permission()` check, so an ordinary unprivileged local user needs only an fd on the bcachefs mount plus search (`MAY_EXEC`) permission along the path to the victim subvolume. No CAP_SYS_ADMIN, no user-namespace trick, and no ownership of or write access to the target is required.\nUI:N - The attacker issues the ioctl directly with no action by any other user; the mounted bcachefs filesystem is an ambient system configuration, not a victim-performed step at exploit time.\nS:U - The vulnerable code and the impacted resources (kernel filesystem state, on-disk subvolume data) are managed by the same security authority \u2014 the kernel. This is a standard in-kernel DAC-bypass/DoS with no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed.\nC:L - There is no direct arbitrary-read primitive, but the DAC bypass has bounded disclosure consequences: after destroying a root- or other-user-owned subvolume in a directory the attacker can write to, the attacker can recreate the path and have a privileged process deposit sensitive data into attacker-controlled storage, and the non-invalidated dcache subtree leaves stale dentries/inodes referencing a freed subvolume ID that can be reused by another user\u0027s newly created subvolume.\nI:H - An unprivileged user can permanently destroy any subvolume they can merely traverse to \u2014 including root-owned subvolumes and other users\u0027 mode-0700 subvolumes \u2014 bypassing all ownership, write-permission, sticky-bit and non-empty-directory protections, which is unauthorized destruction of arbitrary data on the filesystem. The stale, still-hashed dentry subtree over a deleted subvolume additionally permits writes through inodes whose subvolume ID may be reused.\nA:H - The `d_delete()` bug leaves `bch2_evict_subvolume_inodes()` stuck in `TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE`, producing an unkillable D-state kworker that holds `BCH_WRITE_REF_snapshot_delete_pagecache` forever \u2014 unmount and read-only transitions hang, all further subvolume deletions stall, and recovery requires a reboot. Independently, arbitrary destruction of subvolumes (e.g. one holding `/home` or a database) is total loss of the affected data."
