How to Fix CVE-2026-72385

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-2026-72385, 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: tracing/fprobe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in fprobe_fgraph_entry() fprobe_fgraph_entry() sizes a shadow-stack reservation in one walk of the per-ip fprobe list and fills it in a second walk, both under rcu_read_lock() only. A fprobe registered on an already-live ip can become visible between the two walks, so the fill walk processes an exit_handler the sizing walk did not count and used runs past reserved_words. If the sizing walk counted nothing, fgraph_data is NULL and the first write_fprobe_header() faults: Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address ... KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007] RIP: 0010:fprobe_fgraph_entry+0xa38/0xf10 kernel/trace/fprobe.c:167 Call Trace: <TASK> function_graph_enter_regs+0x44c/0xa10 kernel/trace/fgraph.c:677 ftrace_graph_func+0xc5/0x140 arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:671 __kernel_text_address+0x9/0x40 kernel/extable.c:78 arch_stack_walk+0x117/0x170 arch/x86/kernel/stacktrace.c:26 kmem_cache_free+0x188/0x580 mm/slub.c:6378 tcp_data_queue+0x18d/0x6550 net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:5590 [...] </TASK> The list cannot be frozen across the two walks, so skip a node that does not fit the reservation and count it as missed.
