after a failed probe the leftover rc-core/lirc/input device is reached by opening local /dev/lirc* or /dev/input/event* nodes, not via network packets, Bluetooth, or IR/USB injection.\nAC:L - After rc_register_device() succeeds, IRQ lookup (including -EPROBE_DEFER), request_irq, or sunxi_ir_hw_init failure calls only rc_free_device(); once the leaked rc/lirc node exists, LIRC_SET_REC_TIMEOUT and similar ioctls deterministically use dangling rc_dev->priv with no attacker-uncontrollable race.\nPR:L - A low-privileged local user who can open the leaked /dev/lirc* or input event node (typical input-group/udev access on Allwinner STBs, tablets, and SBCs) can ioctl the leftover rc device; bind/unbind is CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but the higher-severity scenario is exploiting an already leaked node.\nUI:N - The attacker opens the leftover lirc or input device and issues ioctls themselves; no victim must mount a filesystem, plug a device, or otherwise interact.\nS:U - Use-after-free of the probe-owned sunxi_ir object and leftover rc-core state stays in the host kernel and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - Failed probe leaves the rc device registered while devres frees the sunxi_ir object that rc_dev->priv still points at, a slab use-after-free; per kernel CVSS guidance that primitive enables arbitrary kernel read.\nI:H - sunxi_ir_set_timeout() performs CIR MMIO writes through freed ir->base, and leftover s_timeout/ir_raw callbacks can be redirected after heap reuse, yielding arbitrary write and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Using the leftover lirc/input node dereferences freed sunxi_ir state or writes unmapped CIR MMIO, causing kernel oops/panic;
