It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-31452 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31452/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31452/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-31452","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31452/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-31452","record":{"aliases":["AZL-83204","BELL-CVE-2026-31452","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31452","GHSA-g495-4jqx-cp59","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-31452","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-31452","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-31452","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-31452","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-31452","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31452"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel ext4","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can trigger a kernel crash in the ext4 filesystem by truncating a file with inline data to a size exceeding inline capacity.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\next4: convert inline data to extents when truncate exceeds inline size\n\nAdd a check in ext4_setattr() to convert files from inline data storage\nto extent-based storage when truncate() grows the file size beyond the\ninline capacity. This prevents the filesystem from entering an\ninconsistent state where the inline data flag is set but the file size\nexceeds what can be stored inline.\n\nWithout this fix, the following sequence causes a kernel BUG_ON():\n\n1. Mount filesystem with inode that has inline flag set and small size\n2. truncate(file, 50MB) - grows size but inline flag remains set\n3. sendfile() attempts to write data\n4. ext4_write_inline_data() hits BUG_ON(write_size \u003e inline_capacity)\n\nThe crash occurs because ext4_write_inline_data() expects inline storage\nto accommodate the write, but the actual inline capacity (~60 bytes for\ni_block + ~96 bytes for xattrs) is far smaller than the file size and\nwrite request.\n\nThe fix checks if the new size from setattr exceeds the inode's actual\ninline capacity (EXT4_I(inode)-\u003ei_inline_size) and converts the file to\nextent-based storage before proceeding with the size change.\n\nThis addresses the root cause by ensuring the inline data flag and file\nsize remain consistent during truncate operations.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"ext4: convert inline data to extents when truncate exceeds inline size","id":"CVE-2026-31452","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"xfs: avoid dereferencing log items after push callbacks","id":"CVE-2026-31453"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ext4: replace BUG_ON with proper error handling in ext4_read_inline_folio","id":"CVE-2026-31451"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-04-22","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A local attacker can trigger a kernel crash in the ext4 filesystem by truncating a file with inline data to a size exceeding inline capacity.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31452/"}
