CVE-2026-31697
7.1 · HIGHOverview
CVE-2026-31697 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 1, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (HIGH).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical 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.
