The abs() macro documentation\n(include/linux/math.h) explicitly states the result is undefined when\nthe input is the type minimum. When DST contains S32_MIN (0x80000000),\nabs((s32)DST) triggers undefined behavior and returns S32_MIN unchanged\non arm64/x86. This value is then sign-extended to u64 as\n0xFFFFFFFF80000000, causing do_div() to compute the wrong result.\n\nThe verifier's abstract interpretation (scalar32_min_max_sdiv) computes\nthe mathematically correct result for range tracking, creating a\nverifier/interpreter mismatch that can be exploited for out-of-bounds\nmap value access.\n\nIntroduce abs_s32() which handles S32_MIN correctly by casting to u32\nbefore negating, avoiding signed overflow entirely. Replace all 8\nabs((s32)...) call sites in the interpreter's sdiv32/smod32 handlers.\n\ns32 is the only affected case -- the s64 division/modulo handlers do\nnot use abs().","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-787","CWE-190"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0d5d8c3ce45c734aaf3c51cbef59155a6746157d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/694ea55f1b1c74f9942d91ec366ae9e822422e42","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9ab1227765c446942f290c83382f0b19887c55cf","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c77b30bd1dcb61f66c640ff7d2757816210c7cb0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f14ca604c0ff274fba19f73f1f0485c0047c1396"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-31525","score":0.00163,"percentile":0.05482,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
