CVE-2026-46244: Software Security Vulnerability Vulnerability
CRITICALCVE-2026-46244 is a CRITICAL (CVSS 9.1) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-682: Incorrect Calculation) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product performs a calculation that generates incorrect or unintended results that are later used in security-critical decisions or resource management.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.
CVE-2026-46244 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 9.1
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2026-46244
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-2026-46244, 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\nnetfilter: nft_inner: Fix IPv6 inner_thoff desync\n\nIn nft_inner_parse_l2l3(), when processing inner IPv6 packets,\nipv6_find_hdr() correctly computes the transport header offset\ntraversing all extension headers, but the result is immediately\noverwritten with nhoff + sizeof(_ip6h) (40 bytes), which only\naccounts for the IPv6 base header. This creates a desync between\ninner_thoff (wrong — points to extension header start) and l4proto\n(correct — e.g., IPPROTO_TCP), enabling transport header forgery\nand potential firewall bypass. This issue affects stable versions\nfrom Linux 6.2.\n\nFor comparison, the normal (non-inner) IPv6 path correctly\npreserves ipv6_find_hdr()'s result. Removing the incorrect overwrite\nensures that ipv6_find_hdr()'s calculated transport header offset is\npreserved, thereby fixing the desynchronization.",
