How to Fix CVE-2026-68150

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-2026-68150, 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: fs/super: fix emergency thaw double-unlock of s_umount do_thaw_all() iterates over all superblocks via __iterate_supers() with SUPER_ITER_EXCL, which acquires s_umount exclusively before calling the callback and releases it afterwards. However, the callback do_thaw_all_callback() calls thaw_super_locked() which unconditionally releases s_umount on every code path. This results in a second unlock attempt in __iterate_supers() that corrupts the rwsem state, triggering a DEBUG_RWSEMS warning: [ 182.601148] sysrq: Emergency Thaw of all frozen filesystems [ 182.601865] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 182.602375] DEBUG_RWSEMS_WARN_ON((rwsem_owner(sem) != current) && !rwsem_test_oflags(sem, RWSEM_NONSPINNABLE)): count = 0x0, magic = 0xffff99b1011e5870, owner = 0x0, curr 0xffff99b101b06c80, list not empty [ 182.603817] WARNING: kernel/locking/rwsem.c:1412 at up_write+0xa3/0x170, CPU#2: kworker/2:1/53 [ 182.604578] Modules linked in: [ 182.604864] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 53 Comm: kworker/2:1 Not tainted 7.2.0-rc4-00001-gbd3bd93ea98a-dirty #4 PREEMPT(lazy) [ 182.605711] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.13.0-1kylin1 04/01/2014 [ 182.606417] Workqueue: events do_thaw_all [ 182.606750] RIP: 0010:up_write+0xaf/0x170 [ 182.607076] Code: 19 3a 92 48 0f 44 c2 48 8b 55 08 48 8b 55 00 4c 8b 45 08 48 8b 55 00 48 8d 3d ad 91 e0 01 48 8b 4d 20 50 48 c7 c6 f0 8c 26 92 <67> 48 0f b9 3a e8 d7 93 4e 00 58 eb 81 48 83 7f 18 00 48 c7 c2 8d [ 182.608563] RSP: 0018:ffffb670001d7e08 EFLAGS: 00010246 [ 182.609007] RAX: ffffffff92349e8d RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: ffff99b1011e5870 [ 182.609595] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff92268cf0 RDI: ffffffff92914d10 [ 182.610283] RBP: ffff99b1011e5870 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffff99b101b06c80 [ 182.610847] R10: ffff99b10139a808 R11: fefefefefefefeff R12: 0000000000000000 [ 182.611414] R13: ffffffff90cf74d0 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff99b1011e5800 [ 182.612009] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff99b1eaaee000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 182.612670] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 182.613146] CR2: 00000000005c631c CR3: 00000000013ee000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 [ 182.613722] Call Trace: [ 182.613946] <TASK> [ 182.614130] __iterate_supers+0x128/0x150 [ 182.614463] do_thaw_all+0x1b/0x30 [ 182.614759] process_scheduled_works+0xbb/0x3f0 [ 182.615150] ? __pfx_worker_thread+0x10/0x10 [ 182.615499] worker_thread+0x129/0x270 [ 182.615816] ? __pfx_worker_thread+0x10/0x10 [ 182.616201] kthread+0xe2/0x120 [ 182.616469] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 182.616792] ret_from_fork+0x15b/0x240 [ 182.617115] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 182.617426] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 [ 182.617761] </TASK> [ 182.617968] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- [ 182.618412] Emergency Thaw complete Fix this by switching to SUPER_ITER_UNLOCKED and acquiring s_umount in the callback via super_lock_excl() before calling thaw_super_locked().
