The peer sets the\ncascade tag in the SDD_RES (deciding 3 vs 4 bytes) and the\ncascade-incomplete bit in the SEL_RES (deciding whether another round\nfollows).\n\nISO 14443-3 limits NFC-A to three cascade levels and target->nfcid1 is\nsized accordingly (NFC_NFCID1_MAXSIZE = 10), but nothing in the driver\nactually enforces this.  This means a malicious peer can keep the\ncascade running, writing past the heap-allocated nfc_target with each\nround.\n\nFix this by rejecting the response when the accumulated UID would exceed\nthe buffer.\n\nCommit e329e71013c9 (\"NFC: nci: Bounds check struct nfc_target arrays\")\nfixed similar missing checks against the same field on the NCI path.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-120"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1bec5698b55aa2be5c3b983dba657c01d0fd3dbc","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/20663102c14566e900e1d2f679e30b7f1694f387","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2819f34e08bdffb6f06a51c67948ec5737fb166a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/46ce8be2ced389bccd84bcc04a12cf2f4d0c22d1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5a59bf70c38ee1eb4be03bab830bbc3a6f0bd1f1"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:09.003606135+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-31622","score":0.00289,"percentile":0.2124,"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).
