CVE-2025-71162: Software Security Vulnerability Vulnerability
HIGHCVE-2025-71162 is a HIGH (CVSS 7.8) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-416: Use After Free) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. at some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.

Security Impact
CVSS: 7.8
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2025-71162
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-2025-71162, 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.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-416: Use After Free, where the product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. at some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.

"details" : "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndmaengine: tegra-adma: Fix use-after-free\n\nA use-after-free bug exists in the Tegra ADMA driver when audio streams\nare terminated, particularly during XRUN conditions. The issue occurs\nwhen the DMA buffer is freed by tegra_adma_terminate_all() before the\nvchan completion tasklet finishes accessing it.\n\nThe race condition follows this sequence:\n\n 1. DMA transfer completes, triggering an interrupt that schedules the\n completion tasklet (tasklet has not executed yet)\n 2. Audio playback stops, calling tegra_adma_terminate_all() which\n frees the DMA buffer memory via kfree()\n 3. The scheduled tasklet finally executes, calling vchan_complete()\n which attempts to access the already-freed memory\n\nSince tasklets can execute at any time after being scheduled, there is\nno guarantee that the buffer will remain valid when vchan_complete()\nruns.\n\nFix this by properly synchronizing the virtual channel completion:\n - Calling vchan_terminate_vdesc() in tegra_adma_stop() to mark the\n descriptors as terminated instead of freeing the descriptor.\n - Add the callback tegra_adma_synchronize() that calls\n vchan_synchronize() which kills any pending tasklets and frees any\n terminated descriptors.\n\nCrash logs:\n[ 337.427523] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in vchan_complete+0x124/0x3b0\n[ 337.427544] Read of size 8 at addr ffff000132055428 by task swapper/0/0\n\n[ 337.427562] Call trace:\n[ 337.427564] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x320\n[ 337.427571] show_stack+0x20/0x30\n[ 337.427575] dump_stack_lvl+0x68/0x84\n[ 337.427584] print_address_description.constprop.0+0x74/0x2b8\n[ 337.427590] kasan_report+0x1f4/0x210\n[ 337.427598] __asan_load8+0xa0/0xd0\n[ 337.427603] vchan_complete+0x124/0x3b0\n[ 337.427609] tasklet_action_common.constprop.0+0x190/0x1d0\n[ 337.427617] tasklet_action+0x30/0x40\n[ 337.427623] __do_softirq+0x1a0/0x5c4\n[ 337.427628] irq_exit+0x110/0x140\n[ 337.427633] handle_domain_irq+0xa4/0xe0\n[ 337.427640] gic_handle_irq+0x64/0x160\n[ 337.427644] call_on_irq_stack+0x20/0x4c\n[ 337.427649] do_interrupt_handler+0x7c/0x90\n[ 337.427654] el1_interrupt+0x30/0x80\n[ 337.427659] el1h_64_irq_handler+0x18/0x30\n[ 337.427663] el1h_64_irq+0x7c/0x80\n[ 337.427667] cpuidle_enter_state+0xe4/0x540\n[ 337.427674] cpuidle_enter+0x54/0x80\n[ 337.427679] do_idle+0x2e0/0x380\n[ 337.427685] cpu_startup_entry+0x2c/0x70\n[ 337.427690] rest_init+0x114/0x130\n[ 337.427695] arch_call_rest_init+0x18/0x24\n[ 337.427702] start_kernel+0x380/0x3b4\n[ 337.427706] __primary_switched+0xc0/0xc8",
