How to Fix CVE-2026-89900

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-2026-89900, 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: media: cec: core: Fix kmemleak due to missed rc_free_device() call The commit dccc0c3ddf8f ("media: rc: fix race between unregister and urb/irq callbacks") removed the implicit call to rc_free_device() from rc_unregister_device(). However, the commit missed to remove the NULL assignment of adap->rc that is now causing rc_free_device() to never be called on an allocated rc device. kmemleak reports following after e.g. dw-hdmi unbind: unreferenced object 0xffff00010ac10000 (size 4096): comm "kworker/u16:1", pid 39, jiffies 4294897739 hex dump (first 32 bytes): 20 23 4b 0a 01 00 ff ff 08 00 c1 0a 01 00 ff ff #K............. 08 00 c1 0a 01 00 ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace (crc e11baccc): kmemleak_alloc+0x38/0x44 __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x4a8/0x5e0 rc_allocate_device+0x48/0x2a0 cec_allocate_adapter+0x3ac/0x800 dw_hdmi_cec_probe+0x264/0x634 platform_probe+0xc0/0x188 really_probe+0x4a4/0x8e0 __driver_probe_device+0x2f8/0x440 driver_probe_device+0x60/0x160 __device_attach_driver+0x1a0/0x2a0 bus_for_each_drv+0x100/0x1a0 __device_attach+0x174/0x350 device_initial_probe+0x90/0xb0 bus_probe_device+0x4c/0x120 device_add+0xdec/0x116c platform_device_add+0x354/0x598 Remove the assignment of adap->rc to NULL to let cec_delete_adapter() free the allocated rc device after last user of the cec device exits to fix the kmemleak.
