A flaw was found in the `readelf` utility of the binutils package. A local attacker could exploit two Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerabilities by providing a specially crafted Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) file. One vulnerability, a resource exhaustion (CWE-400), can lead to an out-of-memory condition. The other, a null pointer dereference (CWE-476), can cause a segmentation fault. Both issues can result in the `readelf` utility becoming unresponsive or crashing, leading to a denial of service.

A flaw was found in binutils, specifically within the `readelf` utility. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by tricking a user into processing a specially crafted Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) file. The exploitation of this flaw can lead to the system becoming unresponsive due to excessive resource consumption or a program crash.

A flaw was found in binutils. A heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability exists when processing a specially crafted XCOFF (Extended Common Object File Format) object file during linking. A local attacker could trick a user into processing this malicious file, which could lead to arbitrary code execution, allowing the attacker to run unauthorized commands, or cause a denial of service, making the system unavailable.

A flaw was found in nano. A local user could exploit a format string vulnerability in the `statusline()` function. By creating a directory with a name containing `printf` specifiers, the application attempts to display this name, leading to a segmentation fault (SEGV). This results in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the `nano` application.

CVE-2026-31431
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: algif_aead - Revert to operating out-of-place
This mostly reverts commit 72548b093ee3 except for the copying of
the associated data.
There is no benefit in operating in-place in algif_aead since the
source and destination come from different mappings. Get rid of
all the complexity added for in-place operation and just copy the
AD directly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix OOB write in QUERY_INFO for compound requests
When a compound request such as READ + QUERY_INFO(Security) is received,
and the first command (READ) consumes most of the response buffer,
ksmbd could write beyond the allocated buffer while building a security
descriptor.
The root cause was that smb2_get_info_sec() checked buffer space using
ppntsd_size from xattr, while build_sec_desc() often synthesized a
significantly larger descriptor from POSIX ACLs.
This patch introduces smb_acl_sec_desc_scratch_len() to accurately
compute the final descriptor size beforehand, performs proper buffer
checking with smb2_calc_max_out_buf_len(), and uses exact-sized
allocation + iov pinning.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix potencial OOB in get_file_all_info() for compound requests
When a compound request consists of QUERY_DIRECTORY + QUERY_INFO
(FILE_ALL_INFORMATION) and the first command consumes nearly the entire
max_trans_size, get_file_all_info() would blindly call smbConvertToUTF16()
with PATH_MAX, causing out-of-bounds write beyond the response buffer.
In get_file_all_info(), there was a missing validation check for
the client-provided OutputBufferLength before copying the filename into
FileName field of the smb2_file_all_info structure.
If the filename length exceeds the available buffer space, it could lead to
potential buffer overflows or memory corruption during smbConvertToUTF16
conversion. This calculating the actual free buffer size using
smb2_calc_max_out_buf_len() and returning -EINVAL if the buffer is
insufficient and updating smbConvertToUTF16 to use the actual filename
length (clamped by PATH_MAX) to ensure a safe copy operation.
