No local privilege on the target is required by a remote peer sending the RESPONSE packet.\nUI:N - No victim user action is required after the RxRPC service is listening; packet processing occurs in the kernel receive path.\nS:U - The impact is confined to the kernel/service host processing the RxRPC connection and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or comparable security boundary.\nC:L - The bug is a bounded buffer overread of a few bytes past the decrypted authenticator buffer, potentially exposing adjacent kernel heap data through comparison/error behavior. It does not provide an arbitrary kernel memory read.\nI:N - The flaw is an out-of-bounds read before nonce/appdata parsing and does not write attacker-controlled data or corrupt memory.\nA:H - The out-of-bounds read can fault or trigger hardened/debug slab checks, producing a kernel oops or panic. A remote peer can repeatedly send crafted RESPONSE packets." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/rxrpc/rxgk.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "9d1d2b59341f58126a69b51f9f5f8ccb9f12e54a", "lessThan": "794586789800b16dcbe235452494f4223ac80413", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "9d1d2b59341f58126a69b51f9f5f8ccb9f12e54a", "lessThan": "1c4422d8be81718ecb15d79aedff607323085201", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "9d1d2b59341f58126a69b51f9f5f8ccb9f12e54a", "lessThan": "f564af387c8c28238f8ebc13314c589d7ba8475d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/rxrpc/rxgk.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.16", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.16", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.23", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19.13", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.19.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.0", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.23" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.13" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/794586789800b16dcbe235452494f4223ac80413" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1c4422d8be81718ecb15d79aedff607323085201" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f564af387c8c28238f8ebc13314c589d7ba8475d" } ], "title": "rxrpc: Fix buffer overread in rxgk_do_verify_authenticator()", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2026-31631", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "yes" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2026-10-16T15:11:20.356548Z" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-10-16T15:20:17.371Z" } } ] } }
