Switch to\ndevm_kzalloc() to ensure the memory is managed and freed automatically\nwhen the device is removed.\n\nThe caller of report_fixup() does not take ownership of the returned\npointer, but it is permitted to return a pointer whose lifetime is at\nleast that of the input buffer.\n\nAlso fix a harmless out-of-bounds read by copying only the original\ndescriptor size.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-401"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2bad24c17742fc88973d6aea526ce1353f5334a3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2e4fe6b15c2f390c023b20d728b1a3fe7ea4f973","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/726765b43deb2b4723869d673cc5fc6f7a3b2059","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7a6d6e4d8af044f94fa97e97af5ff2771e1fbebd","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/84724ac4821a160d47b84289adf139023027bdbb"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:30:49.762551342+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-31524","score":0.00123,"percentile":0.02004,"date":"2026-11-01"},"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).
