Integrity High (I:H)
Availability High (A:H)

How to Fix CVE-2026-74736

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-2026-74736, 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: net/sched: cls_bpf: reject dev-bound programs bound to a different device cls_bpf_prog_from_efd() obtained a SCHED_CLS program via bpf_prog_get_type_dev() but never verified that a device-bound (offloaded) program's bound netdev matches the TC netdev the classifier is being attached to. This let a program loaded with prog_ifindex for device A be attached via cls_bpf + skip_sw to device B; deleting device A then destroyed the program's offload state while it was still attached to device B, triggering a netdevsim WARN (panic with panic_on_warn=1). Mirror the XDP attach path (net/core/dev.c) and reject the attach with -EINVAL when a dev-bound program's bound device does not match the target device.
