1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31405)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in handle_one_ule_extension() extension handler tables when processing network-controlled ULE extension header data. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted SNDU with an extension header type value of 255 to execute arbitrary code.
The out-of-bounds value may be dereferenced and called as a function pointer.
