CVE-2026-31402 is a heap overflow vulnerability in the Linux kernel NFS server component, nfsd, affecting the NFSv4.0 LOCK replay cache. The flaw exists because the replay cache stores encoded operation responses in a fixed 112-byte inline buffer sized for OPEN responses, but LOCK denied responses can include a variable-length conflicting lock owner field up to 1024 bytes. When a LOCK request is denied due to a conflict with an existing lock that has a large owner string, nfsd4_encode_operation() can produce a response larger than the replay buffer, and read_bytes_from_xdr_buf() copies the full encoded response into that undersized buffer without a bounds check. This causes a slab out-of-bounds heap write of up to 944 bytes past the end of the buffer, corrupting adjacent heap memory.
