How to Fix CVE-2026-72467

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-2026-72467, 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: xprtrdma: Check frwr_wp_create() during connect frwr_wp_create() creates the singleton Memory Region used to encode padding for Write chunks whose payload length is not XDR-aligned. Its failure paths return a negative errno and leave ep->re_write_pad_mr set to NULL. rpcrdma_xprt_connect() currently ignores that return value. If frwr_wp_create() fails after the rest of the connection setup succeeds, xprt_rdma_connect_worker() treats the connection attempt as successful and sets XPRT_CONNECTED. A later NFS/RDMA read with a non-4-byte-aligned receive page length reaches rpcrdma_encode_write_list(), passes the NULL write-pad MR to encode_rdma_segment(), and dereferences it. This is locally triggerable on an NFS/RDMA client after a connect or reconnect hits a local MR allocation, DMA-map, MR-map, or post-send failure; a remote peer alone cannot force the local MR setup failure. Check the return value and fail the connect as -ENOTCONN, matching the adjacent setup failures. This keeps XPRT_CONNECTED clear and lets the normal reconnect path retry.
