{"cve":"CVE-2026-31502","nvd":{"published":"2026-04-22T14:16:48.713","modified":"2026-10-19T19:17:57.200","status":"Modified","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nteam: fix header_ops type confusion with non-Ethernet ports\n\nSimilar to commit 950803f72547 (\"bonding: fix type confusion in\nbond_setup_by_slave()\") team has the same class of header_ops type\nconfusion.\n\nFor non-Ethernet ports, team_setup_by_port() copies port_dev->header_ops\ndirectly. When the team device later calls dev_hard_header() or\ndev_parse_header(), these callbacks can run with the team net_device\ninstead of the real lower device, so netdev_priv(dev) is interpreted as\nthe wrong private type and can crash.\n\nThe syzbot report shows a crash in bond_header_create(), but the root\ncause is in team: the topology is gre -> bond -> team, and team calls\nthe inherited header_ops with its own net_device instead of the lower\ndevice, so bond_header_create() receives a team device and interprets\nnetdev_priv() as bonding private data, causing a type confusion crash.\n\nFix this by introducing team header_ops wrappers for create/parse,\nselecting a team port under RCU, and calling the lower device callbacks\nwith port->dev, so each callback always sees the correct net_device\ncontext.\n\nAlso pass the selected lower device to the lower parse callback, so\nrecursion is bounded in stacked non-Ethernet topologies and parse\ncallbacks always run with the correct device context.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-843"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0a7468ed49a6b65d34abcc6eb60e15f7f6d34da0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/20491d384d973a63fbdaf7a71e38d69b0659ea55","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/420e5aad7ba89e8f79e2dc8327b0c0c24c1c1d53","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/425000dbf17373a4ab8be9428f5dc055ef870a56","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6d3161fa3eee64d46b766fb0db33ec7f300ef52d"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-31502","score":0.00129,"percentile":0.02529,"date":"2026-10-26"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
