CVE-2026-31405

CRITICAL CVSS 3.1: 9.8 EPSS 0.76%
Updated Jul 24, 2026
Linux
Parameter Value
CVSS 9.8 (CRITICAL)
Affected Versions 2.6.12.1 — 6.6.130
Fixed In 5.10.253
Type CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read)
Vendor Linux
Public PoC No

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: dvb-net: fix OOB access in ULE extension header tables The ule_mandatory_ext_handlers[] and ule_optional_ext_handlers[] tables in handle_one_ule_extension() are declared with 255 elements (valid indices 0-254), but the index htype is derived from network-controlled data as (ule_sndu_type & 0x00FF), giving a range of 0-255. When htype equals 255, an out-of-bounds read occurs on the function pointer table, and the OOB value may be called as a function pointer. Add a bounds check on htype against the array size before either table is accessed.

Out-of-range values now cause the SNDU to be discarded.
