Remote peers can trigger GSO/USO/TSO transmits on internet-facing Meta hosts with fbnic (TCP responses or UDP USO), reaching the vulnerable driver without local access.\nAC:L - The USO selftest reliably reproduces the UAF when sending UDP_SEGMENT GSO skbs; attackers control MSS, payload size, and timing to force skb_cow_head/pskb_expand_head to reallocate the skb, making the stale shinfo dereference repeatable rather than dependent on uncontrollable state.\nPR:N - Triggering requires only standard unprivileged socket sendmsg with GSO/USO offload on a host using fbnic, or causing such outbound segmented traffic as an unauthenticated remote client; no CAP_NET_ADMIN, root, or special credentials are needed along the traced path.\nUI:N - Exploitation is fully attacker-driven through crafted network traffic or socket operations; no victim click, mount, or other voluntary action is required beyond normal always-on network service operation.\nS:U - Impact is kernel slab corruption and crash/privilege escalation within the host kernel security domain; it does not cross a VM/hypervisor or IOMMU boundary into a separate security authority.\nC:H - KASAN reports a slab use-after-free with a 4-byte read from freed skb_shared_info after pskb_expand_head; UAF of shinfo fields (gso_type, gso_size, gso_segs) enables heap grooming and arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - Use-after-free of skb_shared_info in the transmit LSO path is memory corruption in attacker-influenced heap objects; stale shinfo values drive metadata and checksum updates, enabling control of kernel data and potential code execution primitives.\nA:H - The reported KASAN slab-use-after-free in fbnic_tx_lso causes kernel oops/panic on transmit; repeated GSO/USO/TSO packets can crash or hang the system, denying availability on affected fbnic-equipped servers."
