In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: fix oversized RESPONSE authenticator length check
rxgk_verify_response() decodes auth_len from the packet and is supposed
to verify that it fits in the remaining bytes. The existing check is
inverted, so oversized RESPONSE authenticators are accepted and passed
to rxgk_decrypt_skb(), which can later reach skb_to_sgvec() with an
impossible length and hit BUG_ON(len).

CVE-2026-31635 [HIGH] CWE-130 kernel: rxrpc: fix oversized RESPONSE authenticator length check
kernel: rxrpc: fix oversized RESPONSE authenticator length check
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's rxrpc component. An inverted length check in the `rxgk_verify_response()` function allows oversized RESPONSE authenticators to be accepted. This can lead to an impossible length being passed to `skb_to_sgvec()`, triggering a `BUG_ON` condition and resulting in a system crash, effectively causing a Denial of Service (DoS).

## DirtyDecrypt PoC Released for Linux Kernel CVE-2026-31635 LPE Vulnerability
Proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code has now been released for a recently patched security flaw in the Linux kernel that could allow for local privilege escalation (LPE).
Dubbed DirtyDecrypt (aka DirtyCBC), the vulnerability was discovered and reported by the Zellic and V12 security team on May 9, 2026, only to be informed by the maintainers that it was a duplicate of a vulnerability that had already been patched in the mainline.
"It's a rxgk pagecache write due to missing COW [copy-on-write] guard in rxgk_decrypt_skb," Zellic co-founder Luna Tong (a

CVE-2026-31635 kernel: rxrpc: fix oversized RESPONSE authenticator length check
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: fix oversized RESPONSE authenticator length check
rxgk_verify_response() decodes auth_len from the packet and is supposed
to verify that it fits in the remaining bytes. The existing check is
inverted, so oversized RESPONSE authenticators are accepted and passed
to rxgk_decrypt_skb(), which can later reach skb_to_sgvec() with an
impossible length and hit BUG_ON(len).
