Information disclosure in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-31628

Published: April 25, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU127762
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31628
CWE-ID: CWE-200
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper isolation of partial divider results in x86 CPU handling when executing division operations on Zen1 processors. A local attacker can run a thread that observes residual partial results from previous operations to disclose sensitive information.

Exploitation requires another thread to access leaked partial results left by a previous operation under certain circumstances.
