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-2026-31663 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-2026-31663/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31663/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-31663","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31663/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-31663","record":{"aliases":["AZL-83720","BELL-CVE-2026-31663","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31663","GHSA-v4m9-vrgr-8xm2","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-31663","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-31663","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-31663","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-31663","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-31663","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31663"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel's xfrm subsystem allows a use-after-free, potentially leading to code execution or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","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-826","name":"Premature Release of Resource During Expected Lifetime"},{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nxfrm: hold dev ref until after transport_finish NF_HOOK\n\nAfter async crypto completes, xfrm_input_resume() calls dev_put()\nimmediately on re-entry before the skb reaches transport_finish.\nThe skb-\u003edev pointer is then used inside NF_HOOK and its okfn,\nwhich can race with device teardown.\n\nRemove the dev_put from the async resumption entry and instead\ndrop the reference after the NF_HOOK call in transport_finish,\nusing a saved device pointer since NF_HOOK may consume the skb.\nThis covers NF_DROP, NF_QUEUE and NF_STOLEN paths that skip\nthe okfn.\n\nFor non-transport exits (decaps, gro, drop) and secondary\nasync return points, release the reference inline when\nasync is set.","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":"xfrm: hold dev ref until after transport_finish NF_HOOK","id":"CVE-2026-31663","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"xfrm: clear trailing padding in build_polexpire()","id":"CVE-2026-31664"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"tipc: fix bc_ackers underflow on duplicate GRP_ACK_MSG","id":"CVE-2026-31662"},"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-21","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel's xfrm subsystem allows a use-after-free, potentially leading to code execution or denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31663/"}
