CVE-2026-31413

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) component. This vulnerability arises from an incorrect handling of certain operations within the BPF verifier, which is responsible for ensuring the safety of BPF programs. This discrepancy between the verifier's analysis and the program's actual execution can be exploited by a local attacker. Successful exploitation could lead to out-of-bounds memory access, potentially allowing for privilege escalation or information disclosure.
