CVE-2026-31786
Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.8)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Buffer overflow in drivers/xen/sys-hypervisor.c
The build id returned by HYPERVISOR_xen_version(XENVER_build_id) is neither NUL terminated nor a string.
The first causes a buffer overflow as sprintf in buildid_show will read and copy till it finds a NUL.
So use a memcpy instead of sprintf to have the correct value:
(the above have a hack to embed a zero inside and check it's returned correctly).
This is XSA-485 / CVE-2026-31786

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation85 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution75 %
Buffer overflow en controlador Xen local (AV:L, PR:L, UI:N) permite escalada de privilegios y ejecución de código arbitrario. CWE-787 y lectura de memoria sin terminación NUL sustentan impacto de ejecución.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
