How to Fix CVE-2026-74497

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-2026-74497, 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: ALSA: usb-audio: Clamp frame size in implicit-feedback mode snd_usb_handle_sync_urb() scales received sync packet sizes by the sender's stride and stores the result directly in out_packet->packet_size[i]. If a connected USB device sends an oversized sync packet, this frame count can exceed ep->maxframesize. The un-clamped frame count then propagates to the playback endpoint queue, potentially driving packet transfers beyond the endpoint's hardware frame limits. Cap the calculated frame count against ep->maxframesize in snd_usb_handle_sync_urb() to prevent oversized packets from entering the playback queue.
