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-2026-31691 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-2026-31691/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31691/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-31691","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31691/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-31691","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-31691","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31691","GHSA-3mf8-6wc5-2f9c","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31691"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An abrupt termination of an AF_XDP application causes the igb network driver to hang indefinitely, resulting in 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\nigb: remove napi_synchronize() in igb_down()\n\nWhen an AF_XDP zero-copy application terminates abruptly (e.g., kill -9),\nthe XSK buffer pool is destroyed but NAPI polling continues.\nigb_clean_rx_irq_zc() repeatedly returns the full budget, preventing\nnapi_complete_done() from clearing NAPI_STATE_SCHED.\n\nigb_down() calls napi_synchronize() before napi_disable() for each queue\nvector. napi_synchronize() spins waiting for NAPI_STATE_SCHED to clear,\nwhich never happens. igb_down() blocks indefinitely, the TX watchdog\nfires, and the TX queue remains permanently stalled.\n\nnapi_disable() already handles this correctly: it sets NAPI_STATE_DISABLE.\nAfter a full-budget poll, __napi_poll() checks napi_disable_pending().
