How to Fix CVE-2026-72063

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-2026-72063, 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: gpio: tegra: do not call pinctrl for GPIO direction tegra_gpio_direction_input() and tegra_gpio_direction_output() already program the GPIO controller direction registers directly. The additional pinctrl_gpio_direction_input/output() calls do not add a Tegra pinctrl operation, because the Tegra pinmux ops provide GPIO request/free handling but no gpio_set_direction hook. The extra call still enters the pinctrl core and takes pctldev->mutex. Shared GPIO users can call the direction path while holding their per-line spinlock, so this otherwise redundant pinctrl direction call can sleep in an atomic context. This was found by our static analysis tool and then confirmed by manual review of tegra_gpio_probe(), the Tegra GPIO direction callbacks and the Tegra pinctrl ops. The reviewed path has a default non-sleeping struct gpio_chip while the direction callback still enters the pinctrl mutex path. A directed runtime validation kept the same non-sleeping chip registration and drove: gpio_shared_proxy_direction_output() gpiod_direction_output_raw_commit() tegra_gpio_direction_output() pinctrl_gpio_direction_output() Lockdep reported a sleep-in-atomic warning with the shared GPIO spinlock held and pinctrl_get_device_gpio_range() plus tegra_gpio_direction_output() on the stack. Do not mark the whole chip as can_sleep to paper over this: can_sleep describes whether get()/set() may sleep, and Tegra value access is MMIO. Remove the redundant pinctrl direction calls and keep pinctrl involvement in the existing request/free path.
