How to Fix CVE-2024-56762

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-2024-56762, 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: io_uring/sqpoll: fix sqpoll error handling races BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __lock_acquire+0x370b/0x4a10 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5089 Call Trace: <TASK> ... _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x3d/0x60 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:162 class_raw_spinlock_irqsave_constructor include/linux/spinlock.h:551 [inline] try_to_wake_up+0xb5/0x23c0 kernel/sched/core.c:4205 io_sq_thread_park+0xac/0xe0 io_uring/sqpoll.c:55 io_sq_thread_finish+0x6b/0x310 io_uring/sqpoll.c:96 io_sq_offload_create+0x162/0x11d0 io_uring/sqpoll.c:497 io_uring_create io_uring/io_uring.c:3724 [inline] io_uring_setup+0x1728/0x3230 io_uring/io_uring.c:3806 ... Kun Hu reports that the SQPOLL creating error path has UAF, which happens if io_uring_alloc_task_context() fails and then io_sq_thread() manages to run and complete before the rest of error handling code, which means io_sq_thread_finish() is looking at already killed task. Note that this is mostly theoretical, requiring fault injection on the allocation side to trigger in practice.
