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-2026-31786 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-2026-31786/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31786/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-31786","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31786/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-31786","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-31786","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31786","GHSA-7p99-gmjx-2f7r","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-31786","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-31786","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31786"],"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 buffer overflow in the Linux kernel Xen driver allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via crafted hypervisor version data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"},{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBuffer overflow in drivers/xen/sys-hypervisor.c\n\nThe build id returned by HYPERVISOR_xen_version(XENVER_build_id) is\nneither NUL terminated nor a string.\n\nThe first causes a buffer overflow as sprintf in buildid_show will\nread and copy till it finds a NUL.\n\n00000000  f4 91 51 f4 dd 38 9e 9d  65 47 52 eb 10 71 db 50  |..Q..8..eGR..q.P|\n00000010  b9 a8 01 42 6f 2e 32                              |...Bo.2|\n00000017\n\nSo use a memcpy instead of sprintf to have the correct value:\n\n00000000  f4 91 51 f4 dd 00 9e 9d  65 47 52 eb 10 71 db 50  |..Q.....eGR..q.P|\n00000010  b9 a8 01 42                                       |...B|\n00000014\n\n(the above have a hack to embed a zero inside and check it's\nreturned correctly).\n\nThis is XSA-485 / CVE-2026-31786","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":"Buffer overflow in drivers/xen/sys-hypervisor.c","id":"CVE-2026-31786","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"xen/privcmd: fix double free via VMA splitting","id":"CVE-2026-31787"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"drm/xe/xe_pagefault: Disallow writes to read-only VMAs","id":"CVE-2026-31785"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-04-30","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":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A buffer overflow in the Linux kernel Xen driver allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via crafted hypervisor version data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-31786/"}
