# CVE-2026-31697: crypto: ccp: Don't attempt to copy ID to userspace if PSP command failed > A local attacker can trigger a kernel buffer overflow in the CCP driver to leak sensitive kernel memory to userspace. - **Severity:** High 7.1 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H`) - **Exploited in the wild:** Not known - **Login needed:** Any signed-in user - **Attackable:** Local or same network only - **Victim action needed:** Not needed - **Fix available:** Yes - **Published:** 1 May 2026 - **Updated:** 19 Oct 2026 - **Also known as:** AZL-85412, BELL-CVE-2026-31697, DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31697, GHSA-qww4-49j8-hf6v, ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-31697, ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-31697, ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-31697, ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-31697, UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31697 ## What is CVE-2026-31697? CVE-2026-31697 is a high-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 1 May 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim. ### Official description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: ccp: Don't attempt to copy ID to userspace if PSP command failed When retrieving the ID for the CPU, don't attempt to copy the ID blob to userspace if the firmware command failed. If the failure was due to an invalid length, i.e. the userspace buffer+length was too small, copying the number of bytes _firmware_ requires will overflow the kernel-allocated buffer and leak data to userspace.

What it is: CVE-2026-31697 is a high-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 1 May 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim. Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-31697 in the wild and no public exploit code. Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page. Task: 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
