CVE-2026-72014: Software Security Vulnerability Vulnerability
CRITICALCVE-2026-72014 is a CRITICAL (CVSS 9.8) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. this occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. when this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.

Security Impact
CVSS: 9.8
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2026-72014
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.
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:treeHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-72014, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:treeAnalyze 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 CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound, where the product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. this occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. when this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.

"details" : "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrbd: reject data replies with an out-of-range payload size\n\nrecv_dless_read() receives a P_DATA_REPLY from a peer into the bio of an\noutstanding read request. The peer-supplied payload length reaches it as\nthe signed int data_size, and two peer-controlled inputs can make it\nnegative. With a negotiated data-integrity-alg the digest length is\nsubtracted first, so a reply whose payload is smaller than the digest\nunderflows data_size. With no integrity algorithm (the default) data_size\nis assigned from the unsigned h95/h100 wire length and drbdd() never\nbounds it for a payload-carrying command, so a length above INT_MAX casts\nit negative; this path needs no non-default feature. The bio receive loop\nthen computes expect = min_t(int, data_size, bv_len), which is negative,\nand drbd_recv_all_warn(mapped, expect) receives with a size_t of SIZE_MAX\ninto the first mapped page.\n\nThe sibling receive path read_in_block() is not affected: it uses an\nunsigned size and rejects it against DRBD_MAX_BIO_SIZE before receiving.\nReject a data reply whose size is negative after the optional digest\nsubtraction, covering both triggers.\n\nImpact: a malicious or man-in-the-middle DRBD peer copies attacker-chosen\nbytes past a bio page in the receiver, corrupting kernel memory. A node\nthat reads from its peer (a diskless node, or read-balancing to the peer)\nis exposed in the default configuration; data-integrity-alg is not\nrequired.",
