An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-31478 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-2026-31478/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31478/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-31478","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31478/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-31478","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-31478","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31478","GHSA-hjcf-h98x-x745","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-31478","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-31478","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-31478","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31478"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel ksmbd","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Incorrect buffer length calculation in ksmbd can lead to memory corruption, potentially allowing remote attackers to cause denial of service or execute code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-131","name":"Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nksmbd: replace hardcoded hdr2_len with offsetof() in smb2_calc_max_out_buf_len()\n\nAfter this commit (e2b76ab8b5c9 \"ksmbd: add support for read compound\"),\nresponse buffer management was changed to use dynamic iov array.\nIn the new design, smb2_calc_max_out_buf_len() expects the second\nargument (hdr2_len) to be the offset of -\u003eBuffer field in the\nresponse structure, not a hardcoded magic number.\nFix the remaining call sites to use the correct offsetof() value.","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":"ksmbd: replace hardcoded hdr2_len with offsetof() in smb2_calc_max_out_buf_len()","id":"CVE-2026-31478","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"drm/xe: always keep track of remap prev/next","id":"CVE-2026-31479"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ksmbd: fix memory leaks and NULL deref in smb2_lock()","id":"CVE-2026-31477"},"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"Incorrect buffer length calculation in ksmbd can lead to memory corruption, potentially allowing remote attackers to cause denial of service or execute code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31478/"}
