{"cve":"CVE-2026-31707","nvd":{"published":"2026-05-01T14:16:20.720","modified":"2026-10-30T13:18:42.847","status":"Modified","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nksmbd: validate response sizes in ipc_validate_msg()\n\nipc_validate_msg() computes the expected message size for each\nresponse type by adding (or multiplying) attacker-controlled fields\nfrom the daemon response to a fixed struct size in unsigned int\narithmetic.  Three cases can overflow:\n\n  KSMBD_EVENT_RPC_REQUEST:\n      msg_sz = sizeof(struct ksmbd_rpc_command) + resp->payload_sz;\n  KSMBD_EVENT_SHARE_CONFIG_REQUEST:\n      msg_sz = sizeof(struct ksmbd_share_config_response) +\n               resp->payload_sz;\n  KSMBD_EVENT_LOGIN_REQUEST_EXT:\n      msg_sz = sizeof(struct ksmbd_login_response_ext) +\n               resp->ngroups * sizeof(gid_t);\n\nresp->payload_sz is __u32 and resp->ngroups is __s32.  Each addition\ncan wrap in unsigned int; the multiplication by sizeof(gid_t) mixes\nsigned and size_t, so a negative ngroups is converted to SIZE_MAX\nbefore the multiply.  A wrapped value of msg_sz that happens to\nequal entry->msg_sz bypasses the size check on the next line, and\ndownstream consumers (smb2pdu.c:6742 memcpy using rpc_resp->payload_sz,\nkmemdup in ksmbd_alloc_user using resp_ext->ngroups) then trust the\nunverified length.\n\nUse check_add_overflow() on the RPC_REQUEST and SHARE_CONFIG_REQUEST\npaths to detect integer overflow without constraining functional\npayload size; userspace ksmbd-tools grows NDR responses in 4096-byte\nchunks for calls like NetShareEnumAll, so a hard transport cap is\nunworkable on the response side.  For LOGIN_REQUEST_EXT, reject\nresp->ngroups outside the signed [0, NGROUPS_MAX] range up front and\nreport the error from ipc_validate_msg() so it fires at the IPC\nboundary; with that bound the subsequent multiplication and addition\nstay well below UINT_MAX.  The now-redundant ngroups check and\npr_err in ksmbd_alloc_user() are removed.\n\nThis is the response-side analogue of aab98e2dbd64 (\"ksmbd: fix\ninteger overflows on 32 bit systems\"), which hardened the request\nside.","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:N/A:H","score":7.1},"cwes":["CWE-787"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/299db777ea0cfa5c407e41b045c24a14c034c27b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/52518503a1a00bc33e9522c4eb05df023e3ae978","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7dd0c858e1909769a4c91842724315ee74f1a5f1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/99c631d0366c1eab8fb188fe66425f4581ebdde4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bf396208418371174869baba9434535cd3288e80"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-30T13:47:47.119061695+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-31707","score":0.00125,"percentile":0.02182,"date":"2026-10-30"},"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).
