Improper input validation in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-31447

Published: April 24, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU127702
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-2026-31447
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 ext4 mount handling when mounting a crafted ext4 filesystem with bigalloc enabled and s_first_data_block set to a non-zero value. A local user can mount a specially crafted filesystem image to cause a denial of service.
