CVE-2026-98132 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 5.5
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2026-98132
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-2026-98132, 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.

Such a change breaks\nprecision propagation chains. All places that produce STACK_ZERO\nshould call bpf_mark_chain_precision() for the zero source.\n\nThis patch fixes the bug in a simplest way possible:\navoids converting stack spills of zero to STACK_ZERO.\nTwo smarter approaches are possible:\n- do bpf_mark_chain_precision() from __clean_func_state()\n- check slot liveness information in check_stack_write_fixed_off()\n\nI investigated both and the changes required are a bit tricky,\nhence go with a simple fix for the time being.",
