How to Fix CVE-2026-97954

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-2026-97954, 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: net/rds: fix tcp stream corruption with large pages rds_message_map_pages() assigns PAGE_SIZE bytes to every scatterlist entry, even when total_len ends in a partial page. The RDS congestion map is defined as 8192 bytes, so on systems with PAGE_SIZE greater than 8192 the scatterlist maps bytes beyond the end of the congestion map. RDS-TCP transmits the SG contents according to those lengths, so the extra bytes become part of the TCP RDS stream and are interpreted as subsequent RDS message headers, corrupting the stream. Limit the final scatterlist mapping to the number of bytes remaining. This has no effect on systems with a 4K page size and allows RDS-TCP to be used on systems with 16K and larger page sizes. The RDS selftest, which previously hung on 16K pages, now passes.
