The flaw is in kernel TLS (kTLS) software transmit encryption triggered when a TLS socket sends records; remote peers on established TLS connections drive this TX path through normal network I/O.\nAC:L - An attacker who controls connection traffic can reliably create the wrapped sk_msg ring state via BPF sockmap SK_MSG verdict helpers (push/pop/redirect) and then trigger record push on demand.\nPR:N - Exploitation requires no privileges on the target host beyond being a network peer on a kTLS socket with sockmap BPF already configured by the service; attacker capabilities are not needed on the victim system.\nUI:N - Triggering requires only automated server-side TLS transmit activity in response to network input, with no victim user action.\nS:U - Impact is kernel memory corruption and potential privilege escalation within the same kernel/host security boundary, not a cross-VM or sandbox escape by itself.\nC:H - Corrupting an active scatterlist entry causes the AEAD crypto path to follow an incorrect chain, enabling out-of-bounds kernel memory reads beyond intended plaintext buffers.\nI:H - The malformed scatterlist passed to crypto_aead_encrypt() can direct encryption I/O to wrong memory regions, providing an out-of-bounds write primitive exploitable for control-flow hijacking.\nA:H -
