Integrity High (I:H)
Availability High (A:H)

How to Fix CVE-2026-74534

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-2026-74534, 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: Bluetooth: ISO: fix refcounting of iso_conn iso_conn_del() and iso_chan_del() have a race that results to double-put of iso_conn: [Task hdev->workqueue] [Task 2] iso_conn_del iso_chan_del iso_conn_hold_unless_zero iso_conn_lock iso_conn_lock conn->sk = NULL iso_conn_unlock sk = iso_sock_hold(conn) <---------´ if (!sk) iso_conn_put iso_conn_put iso_conn_put /* UAF */ The extra put for !sk in iso_conn_del() is currently required since failing iso_chan_add() may leave iso_conn not associated with any sk. Fix by having iso_pi(sk)->conn own refcount when non-NULL, so iso_conn_del does not need to put it. Adjust the iso_conn_add() refcounting so that conn is put if it does not get associated with an sk.
