Improper input validation in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-31411

Published: April 13, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU125838
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 6.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31411
CWE-ID: CWE-20
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in sigd_send() when handling sendmsg() input containing a forged vcc pointer. A local user can send a specially crafted message to cause a denial of service.

Exploitation requires control of the ATM signaling daemon role via the ATMSIGD_CTRL ioctl.
