(lines 909-933)\n - `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:__ip6_append_data()`:\n - Uses `opt->opt_flen + opt->opt_nflen` to compute header\n sizes/headroom decisions. (lines 1448-1466, especially 1463-1465)\n - `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:__ip6_make_skb()`:\n - Calls `ipv6_push_frag_opts()` if `opt->opt_flen` is non-zero.\n (lines 1930-1934)\n - `net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:ipv6_push_frag_opts()` / `ipv6_push_exthdr()`:\n - Push size comes from `ipv6_optlen(opt->dst1opt)` (based on the\n pointed-to header). (lines 1179-1185 and 1206-1211)\n\n 1. `opt_flen` is a 16-bit accumulator:\n\n - `include/net/ipv6.h:298` defines `__u16 opt_flen; /* after fragment hdr */`.\n\n 2. `ip6_datagram_send_ctl()` accepts *repeated* `IPV6_DSTOPTS` cmsgs\n and increments `opt_flen` each time:\n\n - In `net/ipv6/datagram.c:909-933`, for `IPV6_DSTOPTS`:\n - It computes `len = ((hdr->hdrlen + 1) << 3);`\n - It checks `CAP_NET_RAW` using `ns_capable(net->user_ns,\n CAP_NET_RAW)`. (line 922)\n - Then it does:\n - `opt->opt_flen += len;` (line 927)\n - `opt->dst1opt = hdr;` (line 928)\n\n There is no duplicate rejection here (unlike the legacy\n `IPV6_2292DSTOPTS` path which rejects duplicates at\n `net/ipv6/datagram.c:901-904`).\n\n If enough large `IPV6_DSTOPTS` cmsgs are provided, `opt_flen` wraps\n while `dst1opt` still points to a large (2048-byte)\n destination-options header.\n\n In the attached PoC (`poc.c`):\n\n - 32 cmsgs with `hdrlen=255` => `len = (255+1)*8 = 2048`\n - 1 cmsg with `hdrlen=0` => `len = 8`\n - Total increment: `32*2048 + 8 = 65544`, so `(__u16)opt_flen == 8`\n - The last cmsg is 2048 bytes, so `dst1opt` points to a 2048-byte header.\n\n 3. The transmit path sizes headers using the wrapped `opt_flen`:\n\n- In `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1463-1465`:\n - `headersize = sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) + (opt ? opt->opt_flen +\n opt->opt_nflen : 0) + ...;`\n\n With wrapped `opt_flen`, `headersize`/headroom decisions underestimate\n what will be pushed later.\n\n 4. When building the final skb, the actual push length comes from\n `dst1opt` and is not limited by wrapped `opt_flen`:\n\n - In `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1930-1934`:\n - `if (opt->opt_flen) proto = ipv6_push_frag_opts(skb, opt, proto);`\n - In `net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:1206-1211`, `ipv6_push_frag_opts()` pushes\n `dst1opt` via `ipv6_push_exthdr()`.\n - In `net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:1179-1184`, `ipv6_push_exthdr()` does:\n - `skb_push(skb, ipv6_optlen(opt));`\n - `memcpy(h, opt, ipv6_optlen(opt));`\n\n With insufficient headroom, `skb_push()` underflows and triggers\n `skb_under_panic()` -> `BUG()`:\n\n - `net/core/skbuff.c:2669-2675` (`skb_push()` calls `skb_under_panic()`)\n - `net/core/skbuff.c:207-214` (`skb_panic()` ends in `BUG()`)\n\n - The `IPV6_DSTOPTS` cmsg path requires `CAP_NET_RAW` in the target\n netns user namespace (`ns_capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_RAW)`).\n - Root (or any task with `CAP_NET_RAW`) can trigger this without user\n namespaces.\n - An unprivileged `uid=1000` user can trigger this if unprivileged\n user namespaces are enabled and it can create a userns+netns to obtain\n namespaced `CAP_NET_RAW` (the attached PoC does this).\n\n - Local denial of service: kernel BUG/panic (system crash).\n -\n---truncated---"}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":

reported :\n<quote>\n I believe I found a locally triggerable kernel bug in the IPv6 sendmsg\n ancillary-data path that can panic the kernel via `skb_under_panic()`\n (local DoS).\n\n The core issue is a mismatch between:\n\n - a 16-bit length accumulator (`struct ipv6_txoptions::opt_flen`, type\n `__u16`) and\n - a pointer to the *last* provided destination-options header (`opt->dst1opt`)\n\n when multiple `IPV6_DSTOPTS` control messages (cmsgs) are provided.\n\n - `include/net/ipv6.h`:\n - `struct ipv6_txoptions::opt_flen` is `__u16` (wrap possible).\n (lines 291-307, especially 298)\n - `net/ipv6/datagram.c:ip6_datagram_send_ctl()`:\n - Accepts repeated `IPV6_DSTOPTS` and accumulates into `opt_flen`\n without rejecting duplicates. (lines 909-933)\n - `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:__ip6_append_data()`:\n - Uses `opt->opt_flen + opt->opt_nflen` to compute header\n sizes/headroom decisions. (lines 1448-1466, especially 1463-1465)\n - `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:__ip6_make_skb()`:\n - Calls `ipv6_push_frag_opts()` if `opt->opt_flen` is non-zero.\n (lines 1930-1934)\n - `net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:ipv6_push_frag_opts()` / `ipv6_push_exthdr()`:\n - Push size comes from `ipv6_optlen(opt->dst1opt)` (based on the\n pointed-to header). (lines 1179-1185 and 1206-1211)\n\n 1. `opt_flen` is a 16-bit accumulator:\n\n - `include/net/ipv6.h:298` defines `__u16 opt_flen; /* after fragment hdr */`.\n\n 2. `ip6_datagram_send_ctl()` accepts *repeated* `IPV6_DSTOPTS` cmsgs\n and increments `opt_flen` each time:\n\n - In `net/ipv6/datagram.c:909-933`, for `IPV6_DSTOPTS`:\n - It computes `len = ((hdr->hdrlen + 1) << 3);`\n - It checks `CAP_NET_RAW` using `ns_capable(net->user_ns,\n CAP_NET_RAW)`. (line 922)\n - Then it does:\n - `opt->opt_flen += len;` (line 927)\n - `opt->dst1opt = hdr;` (line 928)\n\n There is no duplicate rejection here (unlike the legacy\n `IPV6_2292DSTOPTS` path which rejects duplicates at\n `net/ipv6/datagram.c:901-904`).\n\n If enough large `IPV6_DSTOPTS` cmsgs are provided, `opt_flen` wraps\n while `dst1opt` still points to a large (2048-byte)\n destination-options header.\n\n In the attached PoC (`poc.c`):\n\n - 32 cmsgs with `hdrlen=255` => `len = (255+1)*8 = 2048`\n - 1 cmsg with `hdrlen=0` => `len = 8`\n - Total increment: `32*2048 + 8 = 65544`, so `(__u16)opt_flen == 8`\n - The last cmsg is 2048 bytes, so `dst1opt` points to a 2048-byte header.\n\n 3. The transmit path sizes headers using the wrapped `opt_flen`:\n\n- In `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1463-1465`:\n - `headersize = sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) + (opt ? opt->opt_flen +\n opt->opt_nflen : 0) + ...;`\n\n With wrapped `opt_flen`, `headersize`/headroom decisions underestimate\n what will be pushed later.\n\n 4. When building the final skb, the actual push length comes from\n `dst1opt` and is not limited by wrapped `opt_flen`:\n\n - In `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1930-1934`:\n - `if (opt->opt_flen) proto = ipv6_push_frag_opts(skb, opt, proto);`\n - In `net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:1206-1211`, `ipv6_push_frag_opts()` pushes\n `dst1opt` via `ipv6_push_exthdr()`.\n - In `net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:1179-1184`, `ipv6_push_exthdr()` does:\n - `skb_push(skb, ipv6_optlen(opt));`\n - `memcpy(h, opt, ipv6_optlen(opt));`\n\n With insufficient headroom, `skb_push()` underflows and triggers\n `skb_under_panic()` -> `BUG()`:\n\n - `net/core/skbuff.c:2669-2675` (`skb_push()` calls `skb_under_panic()`)\n - `net/core/skbuff.c:207-214` (`skb_panic()` ends in `BUG()`)\n\n - The `IPV6_DSTOPTS` cmsg path requires `CAP_NET_RAW` in the target\n netns user namespace (`ns_capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_RAW)`).\n - Root (or any task with `CAP_NET_RAW`) can trigger this without user\n namespaces.\n - An unprivileged `uid=1000` user can trigger this if unprivileged\n user namespaces are enabled and it can create a userns+netns to obtain\n namespaced `CAP_NET_RAW` (the attached PoC does this).\n\n - Local denial of service: kernel BUG/panic (system crash).\n -\n---truncated---"}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.253", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.14"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.203", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.14"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.168", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.14"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.134", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.14"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.81", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.14"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.22", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.14"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.12", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.14"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "versionEndExcluding": "7.0", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.14"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "shortName": "Linux", "dateUpdated": "2026-05-11T22:08:16.113Z"}}}, "cveMetadata": {"cveId": "CVE-2026-31415", "state": "PUBLISHED", "dateUpdated": "2026-11-10T12:44:00.390Z", "dateReserved": "2026-03-09T15:48:24.087Z", "assignerOrgId": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "datePublished": "2026-04-13T13:21:03.284Z", "assignerShortName": "Linux"}, "dataVersion": "5.2"}

vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nipv6: avoid overflows in ip6_datagram_send_ctl()\n\nYiming Qian reported :\n<quote>\n I believe I found a locally triggerable kernel bug in the IPv6 sendmsg\n ancillary-data path that can panic the kernel via `skb_under_panic()`\n (local DoS).\n\n The core issue is a mismatch between:\n\n - a 16-bit length accumulator (`struct ipv6_txoptions::opt_flen`, type\n `__u16`) and\n - a pointer to the *last* provided destination-options header (`opt->dst1opt`)\n\n when multiple `IPV6_DSTOPTS` control messages (cmsgs) are provided.\n\n - `include/net/ipv6.h`:\n - `struct ipv6_txoptions::opt_flen` is `__u16` (wrap possible).\n (lines 291-307, especially 298)\n - `net/ipv6/datagram.c:ip6_datagram_send_ctl()`:\n - Accepts repeated `IPV6_DSTOPTS` and accumulates into `opt_flen`\n without rejecting duplicates. (lines 909-933)\n - `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:__ip6_append_data()`:\n - Uses `opt->opt_flen + opt->opt_nflen` to compute header\n sizes/headroom decisions. (lines 1448-1466, especially 1463-1465)\n - `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:__ip6_make_skb()`:\n - Calls `ipv6_push_frag_opts()` if `opt->opt_flen` is non-zero.\n (lines 1930-1934)\n - `net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:ipv6_push_frag_opts()` / `ipv6_push_exthdr()`:\n - Push size comes from `ipv6_optlen(opt->dst1opt)` (based on the\n pointed-to header). (lines 1179-1185 and 1206-1211)\n\n 1. `opt_flen` is a 16-bit accumulator:\n\n - `include/net/ipv6.h:298` defines `__u16 opt_flen; /* after fragment hdr */`.\n\n 2. `ip6_datagram_send_ctl()` accepts *repeated* `IPV6_DSTOPTS` cmsgs\n and increments `opt_flen` each time:\n\n - In `net/ipv6/datagram.c:909-933`, for `IPV6_DSTOPTS`:\n - It computes `len = ((hdr->hdrlen + 1) << 3);`\n - It checks `CAP_NET_RAW` using `ns_capable(net->user_ns,\n CAP_NET_RAW)`. (line 922)\n - Then it does:\n - `opt->opt_flen += len;` (line 927)\n - `opt->dst1opt = hdr;` (line 928)\n\n There is no duplicate rejection here (unlike the legacy\n `IPV6_2292DSTOPTS` path which rejects duplicates at\n `net/ipv6/datagram.c:901-904`).\n\n If enough large `IPV6_DSTOPTS` cmsgs are provided, `opt_flen` wraps\n while `dst1opt` still points to a large (2048-byte)\n destination-options header.\n\n In the attached PoC (`poc.c`):\n\n - 32 cmsgs with `hdrlen=255` => `len = (255+1)*8 = 2048`\n - 1 cmsg with `hdrlen=0` => `len = 8`\n - Total increment: `32*2048 + 8 = 65544`, so `(__u16)opt_flen == 8`\n - The last cmsg is 2048 bytes, so `dst1opt` points to a 2048-byte header.\n\n 3. The transmit path sizes headers using the wrapped `opt_flen`:\n\n- In `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1463-1465`:\n - `headersize = sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) + (opt ? opt->opt_flen +\n opt->opt_nflen : 0) + ...;`\n\n With wrapped `opt_flen`, `headersize`/headroom decisions underestimate\n what will be pushed later.\n\n 4. When building the final skb, the actual push length comes from\n `dst1opt` and is not limited by wrapped `opt_flen`:\n\n - In `net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1930-1934`:\n - `if (opt->opt_flen) proto = ipv6_push_frag_opts(skb, opt, proto);`\n - In `net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:1206-1211`, `ipv6_push_frag_opts()` pushes\n `dst1opt` via `ipv6_push_exthdr()`.\n - In `net/ipv6/exthdrs.c:1179-1184`, `ipv6_push_exthdr()` does:\n - `skb_push(skb, ipv6_optlen(opt));`\n - `memcpy(h, opt, ipv6_optlen(opt));`\n\n With insufficient headroom, `skb_push()` underflows and triggers\n `skb_under_panic()` -> `BUG()`:\n\n - `net/core/skbuff.c:2669-2675` (`skb_push()` calls `skb_under_panic()`)\n - `net/core/skbuff.c:207-214` (`skb_panic()` ends in `BUG()`)\n\n - The `IPV6_DSTOPTS` cmsg path requires `CAP_NET_RAW` in the target\n netns user namespace (`ns_capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_RAW)`).\n - Root (or any task with `CAP_NET_RAW`) can trigger this without user\n namespaces.\n - An unprivileged `uid=1000` user can trigger this if unprivileged\n user namespaces are enabled and it can create a userns+netns to obtain\n namespaced `CAP_NET_RAW` (the attached PoC does this).\n\n - Local denial of service: kernel BUG/panic (system crash).\n -\n---truncated---"}], "id": "CVE-2026-31415", "lastModified": "2026-11-10T13:18:52.107", "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 5.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 3.6, "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}], "ssvcV203": [{"source": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "ssvcData": {"id": "CVE-2026-31415", "options": [{"exploitation": "none"}, {"automatable": "no"}, {"technicalImpact": "partial"}], "role": "CISA Coordinator", "timestamp": "2026-11-05T21:32:24.222141Z", "version": "2.0.3"}}]}, "published": "2026-04-13T14:16:10.707", "references": [{"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0bdaf54d3aaddfe8df29371260fa8d4939b4fd6f"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2dbfb003bbf3fc0e94f07efefab0ebcf83029a2a"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4082f9984a694829153115d28c956a3534f52f29"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4e453375561fc60820e6b9d8ebeb6b3ee177d42e"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5e4ee5dbea134e9257f205e31a96040bed71e83f"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/63fda74885555e6bd1623b5d811feec998740ba4"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/872b74900d5daa37067ac676d9001bb929fc6a2a"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9ed81d692758dfb9471d7799b24bfa7a08224c31"}, {"source": "0b142b55-0307-4c5a-b3c9-f314f3fb7c5e", "url": "https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/html/ssa-019113.html"}, {"source": "0b142b55-0307-4c5a-b3c9-f314f3fb7c5e", "url": "https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/html/ssa-082556.html"}, {"source": "0b142b55-0307-4c5a-b3c9-f314f3fb7c5e", "url": "https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/html/ssa-457936.html"}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "vulnStatus": "Modified", "weaknesses": [{"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-617"}], "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}
