How to Fix CVE-2026-98665

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-2026-98665, 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: iio: health: max30102: fix NULL dereference in interrupt handler The interrupt is requested in max30102_probe() and stays enabled for the lifetime of the device, but indio_dev->active_scan_mask is only valid while a buffer is enabled. When an interrupt arrives while no buffer is enabled, the handler dereferences the NULL active_scan_mask: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 Call trace: __bitmap_weight+0x64/0x98 (P) max30102_interrupt_handler+0x48/0x160 [max30102] Call max30102_fifo_count() at the top of the handler and return early unless it reports a FIFO sample is ready. Because FIFO_RDY is the only interrupt source enabled in max30102_chip_init(), an invocation of max30102_interrupt_handler() without the FIFO_RDY interrupt status bit set carries no data to read and can return before touching active_scan_mask. A negative return from max30102_fifo_count() indicates a failed interrupt status read and is treated the same way.
