CVE-2026-72487 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 7.7
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2026-72487
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-2026-72487, 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.

"details" : "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nPCI: Check ROM header and data structure addr before accessing\n\nWe meet a crash when running stress-ng on x86_64 machine:\n\n BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffa0000007f40000\n RIP: 0010:pci_get_rom_size+0x52/0x220\n Call Trace:\n <TASK>\n pci_map_rom+0x80/0x130\n pci_read_rom+0x4b/0xe0\n kernfs_file_read_iter+0x96/0x180\n vfs_read+0x1b1/0x300\n\nOur analysis reveals that the ROM space's start address is\n0xffa0000007f30000, and size is 0x10000. Because of broken ROM space,\nbefore calling readl(pds), the pds's value is 0xffa0000007f3ffff, which is\nalready pointed to the ROM space end, invoking readl() would read 4 bytes\ntherefore cause an out-of-bounds access and trigger a crash. Fix this by\nadding image header and data structure checking.\n\nWe also found another crash on arm64 machine:\n\n Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff8000dd1393ff\n Mem abort info:\n ESR = 0x0000000096000021\n EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits\n SET = 0, FnV = 0\n EA = 0, S1PTW = 0\n FSC = 0x21: alignment fault\n\nThe call trace is the same with x86_64, but the crash reason is that the\ndata structure addr is not aligned with 4, and arm64 machine report\n\"alignment fault\". Fix this by adding alignment checking.\n\n[bhelgaas: shorten function names, wrap comments]",
