CVE-2026-31607 is a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel USB/IP client. When processing a RET_SUBMIT response, usbip_pack_ret_submit() overwrites the URB's number_of_packets with an unvalidated network-supplied value. The replacement value becomes the loop bound in usbip_recv_iso() and usbip_pad_iso(), although the iso_frame_desc flexible array was allocated using the original CMD_SUBMIT packet count. A malicious USB/IP server can inflate the response packet count, causing usbip_recv_iso() to write beyond the allocated array. KASAN confirmed a four-byte write immediately beyond a 320-byte allocation on kernel 7.0.0-rc5.
