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-2026-31552 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-2026-31552/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31552/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-31552","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31552/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-31552","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-31552","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31552","GHSA-f5xv-cjm8-337g","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-31552","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-31552","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-31552","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-31552","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-31552","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31552"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel Wi-Fi driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A logic error in the wlcore Wi-Fi driver causes an infinite loop and CPU soft lockup when memory allocation fails, leading to denial of service.","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":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-835","name":"Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: wlcore: Return -ENOMEM instead of -EAGAIN if there is not enough headroom\n\nSince upstream commit e75665dd0968 (\"wifi: wlcore: ensure skb headroom\nbefore skb_push\"), wl1271_tx_allocate() and with it\nwl1271_prepare_tx_frame() returns -EAGAIN if pskb_expand_head() fails.\nHowever, in wlcore_tx_work_locked(), a return value of -EAGAIN from\nwl1271_prepare_tx_frame() is interpreted as the aggregation buffer being\nfull.
