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-2026-31503 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-2026-31503/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31503/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-31503","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31503/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-31503","record":{"aliases":["AZL-83351","BELL-CVE-2026-31503","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31503","GHSA-8g49-x5x5-4c9c","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-31503","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-31503","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-31503","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-31503","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-31503","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31503"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["other"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel UDP","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A logic error in Linux kernel UDP binding allows wildcard binds to succeed despite port conflicts, potentially causing unexpected network behavior.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nudp: Fix wildcard bind conflict check when using hash2\n\nWhen binding a udp_sock to a local address and port, UDP uses\ntwo hashes (udptable-\u003ehash and udptable-\u003ehash2) for collision\ndetection. The current code switches to \"hash2\" when\nhslot-\u003ecount \u003e 10.\n\n\"hash2\" is keyed by local address and local port.\n\"hash\" is keyed by local port only.\n\nThe issue can be shown in the following bind sequence (pseudo code):\n\nbind(fd1,  \"[fd00::1]:8888\")\nbind(fd2,  \"[fd00::2]:8888\")\nbind(fd3,  \"[fd00::3]:8888\")\nbind(fd4,  \"[fd00::4]:8888\")\nbind(fd5,  \"[fd00::5]:8888\")\nbind(fd6,  \"[fd00::6]:8888\")\nbind(fd7,  \"[fd00::7]:8888\")\nbind(fd8,  \"[fd00::8]:8888\")\nbind(fd9,  \"[fd00::9]:8888\")\nbind(fd10, \"[fd00::10]:8888\")\n\n/* Correctly return -EADDRINUSE because \"hash\" is used\n * instead of \"hash2\". udp_lib_lport_inuse() detects the\n * conflict.\n */\nbind(fail_fd, \"[::]:8888\")\n\n/* After one more socket is bound to \"[fd00::11]:8888\",\n * hslot-\u003ecount exceeds 10 and \"hash2\" is used instead.\n */\nbind(fd11, \"[fd00::11]:8888\")\nbind(fail_fd, \"[::]:8888\")      /* succeeds unexpectedly */\n\nThe same issue applies to the IPv4 wildcard address \"0.0.0.0\"\nand the IPv4-mapped wildcard address \"::ffff:0.0.0.0\".
