How to Fix CVE-2026-64502

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-64502, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: adc: ad_sigma_delta: fix clear_pending_event for registerless devices ad_sigma_delta_clear_pending_event() falls through to the status register read path for devices with has_registers = false and no rdy_gpiod. For such devices, ad_sd_read_reg() skips the address byte entirely and clocks raw MISO bytes with no address phase — making it byte-for-byte identical to reading conversion data. If a pending conversion result is present, this partially consumes it and corrupts the data stream for the subsequent ad_sd_read_reg() call in ad_sigma_delta_single_conversion(). Furthermore, with num_resetclks = 0 on these devices, data_read_len evaluates to 0. If the clocked byte has bit 7 clear, pending_event is set and the code attempts memset(data + 2, 0xff, 0 - 1), overflowing to SIZE_MAX and corrupting the heap. Fix by returning 0 immediately when neither rdy_gpiod nor has_registers is set. This is safe for all current registerless devices: ad7191 and ad7780 (with powerdown GPIO) are reset between conversions by CS deassertion, so there is no stale result to drain; ad7780 (without powerdown GPIO) and max11205 are continuously-converting and cycle ~DRDY at the output data rate regardless of whether the previous result was read, so the next falling edge fires naturally. A future registerless device that holds ~DRDY asserted until data is read would be broken by this early return and would require either num_resetclks set or a rdy-gpio. The same heap corruption is reachable on any device with rdy_gpiod set but num_resetclks = 0: if the GPIO indicates a pending event, the drain path executes memset(data + 2, 0xff, 0 - 1) regardless of has_registers. Add an explicit data_read_len == 0 guard after the pending event check; the stale result is then consumed by the first ad_sd_read_reg() call in ad_sigma_delta_single_conversion().
