Overview

What is CVE-2026-31637?

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.
