path into fs/hfs.\nAC:L - No race and no unusual precondition \u2014 the uninitialized fields are read deterministically on the very first lookup or extent access after inode allocation, and the attacker can groom the inode slab to control the stale contents.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user with ordinary access to an already-mounted HFS filesystem (auto-mounted removable media, or an admin-mounted Mac disk) reaches hfs_new_inode() via mkdir/create and hfs_inode_read_fork() via any inode read; no capability is needed for the trigger itself.\nUI:N - Once the HFS volume is mounted, the attacker triggers the uninitialized reads entirely through their own syscalls with no action from any other user.\nS:U - The uninitialized reads and their consequences stay within the kernel's own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Stale kernel-heap bytes leak to userspace through the tz_secondswest-derived timestamp delta exposed by stat(), and stale cached_extents used as disk block numbers cause hfs_get_block() to map and return arbitrary out-of-file sectors of the block device to the reader.\nI:H - With create=1 the bogus dblock from uninit cached_extents makes writes land on arbitrary device sectors, and __hfs_ext_write_extent() keys B-tree records off the stale cached_start, corrupting the on-disk extents B-tree and adjacent filesystem data.\nA:H - Garbage block mappings and a corrupted extents B-tree drive hfs's unhardened bnode code into out-of-bounds accesses and I/O failures, causing oopses and rendering the mounted filesystem unusable." } } }
