CVE-2026-31637 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: reject undecryptable rxkad response tickets rxkad_decrypt_ticket() decrypts the RXKAD response ticket and then parses the buffer as plaintext without checking whether crypto_skcipher_decrypt() succeeded. A malformed RESPONSE can therefore use a non-block-aligned ticket length, make the decrypt operation fail, and still drive the ticket parser with attacker-controlled bytes. Check the decrypt result and abort the connection with RXKADBADTICKET when ticket decryption fails.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's RxRPC implementation allows for the rejection of undecryptable RXKAD response tickets. The issue arises in the 'rxkad_decrypt_ticket()' function, which decrypts RXKAD response tickets and subsequently parses the buffer as plaintext without verifying if the decryption was successful. This flaw enables a malformed response to exploit a non-block-aligned ticket length, causing the decryption to fail while still directing the ticket parser to process attacker-controlled bytes. The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel stable tree, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
