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-2026-31617 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-2026-31617/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31617/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-31617","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31617/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-31617","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-31617","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31617","GHSA-v24g-wpq8-cwqx","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-31617","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-31617","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-31617","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-31617","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-31617","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31617"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB gadget","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A malicious USB host can trigger an integer underflow in the Linux kernel NCM gadget driver, leading to out-of-bounds memory reads and potential code execution.","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":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":[{"id":"CWE-191","name":"Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound)"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nusb: gadget: f_ncm: validate minimum block_len in ncm_unwrap_ntb()\n\nThe block_len read from the host-supplied NTB header is checked against\nntb_max but has no lower bound. When block_len is smaller than\nopts-\u003endp_size, the bounds check of:\n\tndp_index \u003e (block_len - opts-\u003endp_size)\nwill underflow producing a huge unsigned value that ndp_index can never\nexceed, defeating the check entirely.\n\nThe same underflow occurs in the datagram index checks against block_len\n- opts-\u003edpe_size.  With those checks neutered, a malicious USB host can\nchoose ndp_index and datagram offsets that point past the actual\ntransfer, and the skb_put_data() copies adjacent kernel memory into the\nnetwork skb.\n\nFix this by rejecting block lengths that cannot hold at least the NTB\nheader plus one NDP.  This will make block_len - opts-\u003endp_size and\nblock_len - opts-\u003edpe_size both well-defined.\n\nCommit 8d2b1a1ec9f5 (\"CDC-NCM: avoid overflow in sanity checking\") fixed\na related class of issues on the host side of NCM.","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":"usb: gadget: f_ncm: validate minimum block_len in ncm_unwrap_ntb()","id":"CVE-2026-31617","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":9,"next":{"headline":"fbdev: tdfxfb: avoid divide-by-zero on FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO","id":"CVE-2026-31618"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"usb: gadget: f_phonet: fix skb frags[] overflow in pn_rx_complete()","id":"CVE-2026-31616"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-04-24","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 malicious USB host can trigger an integer underflow in the Linux kernel NCM gadget driver, leading to out-of-bounds memory reads and potential code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31617/"}
