              "value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is reached by mounting a crafted JFS image and then unlinking a file, all through local syscalls (mount/unlink) on a block or loop device. No network protocol processing is involved.\nAC:L - The out-of-bounds index is taken verbatim from the on-disk `iagp-\u003eagstart` field, so the attacker picks the exact OOB offset deterministically in the image; there is no race and no reliance on conditions outside attacker control.\nPR:L - A low-privileged local user can supply the malicious JFS image on common desktop/kiosk configurations where udisks2/polkit permits an active session user to mount removable or loop-backed media, and the subsequent unlink that triggers `diFree` requires only ordinary write access to a directory on that filesystem.\nUI:N - Once the image is attached, no victim action is needed \u2014 the attacker\u0027s own unlink drives `jfs_evict_inode` into `diFree`, and automounters attach the media without any human step.\nS:U - The corruption stays within kernel memory under the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The unchecked index produces out-of-bounds reads of `im_agctl[agno].numfree`/`numinos` and of the `im_aglock[agno]` mutex at an attacker-chosen offset, and the resulting heap corruption is a general primitive that can be leveraged for kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - `imap-\u003eim_agctl[agno].inofree = iagno` writes an attacker-influenced 32-bit value at an attacker-chosen offset far outside the `struct inomap` allocation, and `mutex_lock()` on `im_aglock[agno]` writes a kernel pointer OOB \u2014 a controlled slab-corruption write primitive suitable for control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - Out-of-bounds writes into adjacent slab objects and locking a bogus mutex reliably produce oopses, hangs, or panics, and an OOB-read `numinos` of zero yields an immediate divide-error in the `(numfree * 100) / numinos` computation."

No network protocol processing is involved.\nAC:L - The out-of-bounds index is taken verbatim from the on-disk `iagp-\u003eagstart` field, so the attacker picks the exact OOB offset deterministically in the image; there is no race and no reliance on conditions outside attacker control.\nPR:L - A low-privileged local user can supply the malicious JFS image on common desktop/kiosk configurations where udisks2/polkit permits an active session user to mount removable or loop-backed media, and the subsequent unlink that triggers `diFree` requires only ordinary write access to a directory on that filesystem.\nUI:N - Once the image is attached, no victim action is needed \u2014 the attacker\u0027s own unlink drives `jfs_evict_inode` into `diFree`, and automounters attach the media without any human step.\nS:U - The corruption stays within kernel memory under the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The unchecked index produces out-of-bounds reads of `im_agctl[agno].numfree`/`numinos` and of the `im_aglock[agno]` mutex at an attacker-chosen offset, and the resulting heap corruption is a general primitive that can be leveraged for kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - `imap-\u003eim_agctl[agno].inofree = iagno` writes an attacker-influenced 32-bit value at an attacker-chosen offset far outside the `struct inomap` allocation, and `mutex_lock()` on `im_aglock[agno]` writes a kernel pointer OOB \u2014 a controlled slab-corruption write primitive suitable for control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - Out-of-bounds writes into adjacent slab objects and locking a bogus mutex reliably produce oopses, hangs, or panics, and an OOB-read `numinos` of zero yields an immediate divide-error in the `(numfree * 100) / numinos` computation."
