A remote peer can drive only the free side (TCP retransmit timeouts, ICMP-induced PMTU/redirect exceptions), not the racing `sk_dst_cache` writer.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race (one thread calling `SO_CNX_ADVICE`, another calling `sendmsg()` on the same connected socket) and can create the required route-exception/obsolete-dst precondition at will, retrying indefinitely across many sockets; in-the-wild exploitation confirms it is reliably winnable.\nPR:L - `SO_CNX_ADVICE` in `sock_setsockopt()` carries no capability check and a connected UDP socket needs no privileges, so any unprivileged local user — including a sandboxed Android app, as in the observed real-world exploit — can reach the code.\nUI:N - Exploitation is entirely self-driven through the attacker's own socket, timers and threads; no victim action is needed.\nS:U - The corrupted `dst_entry` and the resulting code execution are both within the kernel's own security authority — standard local privilege escalation, no VM/IOMMU boundary crossed.\nC:H - The refcount underflow yields a use-after-free on a `dst_entry` whose contents (ops table, metrics, neighbour and function pointers) can be replaced by attacker-sprayed data, giving a kernel read primitive and full disclosure once escalated to root.\nI:H - `dst_entry` holds `ops`, `input()` and `output()` function pointers invoked on every transmit, so reclaiming the freed object gives direct control-flow hijack and arbitrary kernel write — this was weaponized as an in-the-wild Android privilege escalation.\nA:H - Even unweaponized, the premature free and dangling `sk_dst_cache` dereference cause refcount WARNs, memory corruption and kernel oops/panic, and the trigger can be repeated freely by an unprivileged process."
