{"cve":"CVE-2026-31641","nvd":{"published":"2026-04-24T15:16:43.463","modified":"2026-08-18T12:18:05.953","status":"Modified","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nrxrpc: Fix RxGK token loading to check bounds\n\nrxrpc_preparse_xdr_yfs_rxgk() reads the raw key length and ticket length\nfrom the XDR token as u32 values and passes each through round_up(x, 4)\nbefore using the rounded value for validation and allocation.  When the raw\nlength is >= 0xfffffffd, round_up() wraps to 0, so the bounds check and\nkzalloc both use 0 while the subsequent memcpy still copies the original\n~4 GiB value, producing a heap buffer overflow reachable from an\nunprivileged add_key() call.\n\nFix this by:\n\n (1) Rejecting raw key lengths above AFSTOKEN_GK_KEY_MAX and raw ticket\n     lengths above AFSTOKEN_GK_TOKEN_MAX before rounding, consistent with\n     the caps that the RxKAD path already enforces via AFSTOKEN_RK_TIX_MAX.\n\n (2) Sizing the flexible-array allocation from the validated raw key\n     length via struct_size_t() instead of the rounded value.\n\n (3) Caching the raw lengths so that the later field assignments and\n     memcpy calls do not re-read from the token, eliminating a class of\n     TOCTOU re-parse.\n\nThe control path (valid token with lengths within bounds) is unaffected.","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-125","CWE-190"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3e04596cba8a86cbff9c3f4bf0a524a3a488773c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/49875b360c2b83a3c226e189c502e501d83e6445","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d179a868dd755b0cfcf7582e00943d702b9943b8","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:27288","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:55618"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:09.003606135+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-31641","score":0.00143,"percentile":0.03569,"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).
