UBUNTU-CVE-2026-31675: Ubuntu/linux vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: schnetem: fix out-of-bounds access in packet corruption In netemenqueue(), the packet corruption logic uses getrandomu32below(skbheadlen(skb)) to select an index for modifying skb->data. When an AFPACKET TXRING sends fully non-linear packets over an IPIP tunnel, skbheadlen(skb) evaluates to 0. Passing 0 to getrandomu32below() takes the variable-ceil slow path which returns an unconstrained 32-bit random integer. Using this unconstrained value as an offset into skb->data results in an out-of-bounds memory access. Fix this by verifying skbheadlen(skb) is non-zero before attempting to corrupt the linear data area. Fully non-linear packets will silently bypass the corruption logic.

In netem_enqueue(), verify that skb_headlen(skb) is non-zero before attempting packet corruption or using it as the upper bound for get_random_u32_below(); fully non-linear packets should bypass the corruption logic.
