Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-31675

Published: April 25, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU127868
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-2026-31675
CWE-ID: CWE-125
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 out-of-bounds access in netem_enqueue() when processing fully non-linear packets sent over an IPIP tunnel through an AF_PACKET TX_RING. A local user can send a specially crafted packet to cause a denial of service.
