CVE-2026-31633 | rxrpc: Fix integer overflow in rxgk_verify_response()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: Fix integer overflow in rxgk_verify_response() In rxgk_verify_response(), there's a potential integer overflow due to rounding up token_len before checking it, thereby allowing the length check to be bypassed. Fix this by checking the unrounded value against len too (len is limited as the response must fit in a single UDP packet).

9.8 3.1 CRITICAL
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
