CVE-2026-31514 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: set fileio bio failed in short read case For file-backed mount, IO requests are handled by vfs_iocb_iter_read(). However, it can be interrupted by SIGKILL, returning the number of bytes actually copied. Unused folios in bio are unexpectedly marked as uptodate. vfs_read filemap_read filemap_get_pages filemap_readahead erofs_fileio_readahead erofs_fileio_rq_submit vfs_iocb_iter_read filemap_read filemap_get_pages <= detect signal erofs_fileio_ki_complete <= set all folios uptodate This patch addresses this by setting short read bio with an error directly.. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
