How to Fix CVE-2026-97552

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-2026-97552, 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: xfs: initialise error in xfs_defer_finish_one() xfs_defer_finish_one() declares error without an initialiser and only assigns it inside the loop over dfp->dfp_work. When that list is empty the loop body never runs, control falls through to the "Done with the dfp, free it" path, and the function returns an indeterminate value. An item-less pending item reaches this through xfs_defer_add_barrier(), which xfs_reap_ag_blocks() uses on any CONFIG_XFS_ONLINE_REPAIR kernel. xfs_defer_finish_noroll() treats any non-EAGAIN return as fatal, so a non-zero stack value turns a successful barrier into a SHUTDOWN_CORRUPT_INCORE in the middle of a repair. Zero is the correct result: reaching the free path means the item loop drained without a non-zero error.
