The root-only altr_trigger debugfs file is created only after successful setup and cannot supply the interrupt during this failing probe.\nUI:N - Once the DT device is probed and the required setup failure and ECC interrupt occur, the unwind and stale IRQ handler execute entirely in kernel context without a victim opening a device, mounting media, or taking another action.\nS:U - The freed edac_device_ctl_info and altr_edac_device_dev objects, stale IRQ callback, and resulting corruption all reside within the same host kernel; no VM, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary is crossed.\nC:H - edac_device_free_ctl_info() frees both dci-\u003epvt_info and dci while altr_edac_a10_ecc_irq(), altr_edac_a10_l2_irq(), or the port-B handler can still read base, data, edac_dev, and related fields from those reclaimable objects, providing a UAF disclosure primitive.\nI:H - The stale handlers write through fields loaded from freed altdev: writel()/regmap_write() use its pointers, while edac_device_handle_ce/ue() updates counters through the freed edac_dev. Reclaiming either object therefore provides UAF write and control-flow-corruption primitives.\nA:H - Dereferencing reclaimed base, data, edac, or edac_dev pointers in the stale IRQ handler can immediately oops or panic the kernel; the L2 uncorrectable-error branch can additionally reach panic() through the freed object state."
