Integer overflow in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-31415

Published: April 14, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU125864
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31415
CWE-ID: CWE-190
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 an integer overflow in ip6_datagram_send_ctl() when processing repeated IPV6_DSTOPTS control messages. A local user can send specially crafted ancillary data to cause a denial of service.

Exploitation can trigger a kernel panic through skb_under_panic(), and unprivileged exploitation is possible in environments where unprivileged user namespaces are enabled and the attacker can obtain namespaced CAP_NET_RAW.
