Limit each extraction\nto the remaining af_alg_rcvbuf(sk) budget so that receive-side\naccounting matches the amount of data attached to the request.\n\nIf skcipher cannot obtain enough RX space for at least one chunk while\nmore data remains to be processed, reject the recvmsg call instead of\nrounding the request length down to zero.","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":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/07c6f6ffe29009426f0bd4d3cfbb6308b8ea8453","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4a264b2614c73c96666e196bbabe0cead52bdba7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7e345de2e69475430af85e09210795d8eb8e719c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8eceab19eba9dcbfd2a0daec72e1bf48aa100170","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9bf3e6ccfdcfe56ae3190d1ae987dacf1cfef4f9"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-31677","score":0.00155,"percentile":0.04632,"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).
