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-2026-31681 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-2026-31681/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31681/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-31681","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31681/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-31681","record":{"aliases":["AZL-84219","BELL-CVE-2026-31681","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31681","GHSA-f822-mpgr-7cqx","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-31681","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-31681","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-31681","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-31681","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31681"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel netfilter","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A missing validation in the Linux kernel netfilter module allows malformed rules to cause out-of-bounds reads, potentially leading to a 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":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\nnetfilter: xt_multiport: validate range encoding in checkentry\n\nports_match_v1() treats any non-zero pflags entry as the start of a\nport range and unconditionally consumes the next ports[] element as\nthe range end.\n\nThe checkentry path currently validates protocol, flags and count, but\nit does not validate the range encoding itself.
