Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31617)

CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an integer underflow in ncm_unwrap_ntb() in the f_ncm USB gadget component when processing a host-supplied NTB header. An attacker with physical access can provide a crafted NTB header with a too-small block length and out-of-bounds indexes to disclose sensitive information.

The issue can cause adjacent kernel memory to be copied into a network skb.
