How to Fix CVE-2026-90116

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-2026-90116, 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: ALSA: mtpav: shut down output timer before card teardown snd_mtpav_output_timer() rearms chip->timer while holding chip->spinlock and accesses the card-private mtpav state. snd_mtpav_free() currently takes the same lock and calls timer_delete() when the timer is active. This only removes a pending timer; it does not wait for a callback that is already running and does not prevent the callback from rearming the timer. A callback running on another CPU can therefore continue after snd_mtpav_free() releases the lock and access the card-private state while the card is being torn down. It can also rearm the timer after timer_delete() has returned. Call timer_shutdown_sync() without holding chip->spinlock. This waits for any running callback to finish and prevents further rearming before the card-private mtpav state is released.
