CVE-2026-31432

A flaw was found in the ksmbd component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability allows an attacker to cause the system to write data beyond its intended memory boundaries when processing specific network requests. Specifically, when a complex request combines data reading with security information queries, the system might miscalculate the required buffer size. This out-of-bounds write could lead to system instability, a denial of service, or potentially allow an attacker to execute malicious code.
