How to Fix CVE-2026-97551

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-2026-97551, 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: xfs: initialise args->total for parent pointer updates xfs_parent_da_args_init() builds an xfs_da_args from a zeroed xfs_parent_args (kmem_cache_zalloc), leaving args->total == 0. xfs_da_grow_inode_int() treats that field as a running block reservation and subtracts from it; because it is an xfs_extlen_t (uint32_t), the first attr-fork growth wraps it to ~0U. That defeats the free-space check in xfs_alloc_space_available(), and when it coincides with an AG that has exactly zero available blocks the allocation is clamped to maxlen 0 and returns -ENOSPC, which xfs_defer_finish_noroll() escalates to a filesystem shutdown. Set args->total the way the log recovery path does (xfs_attri_recover_work(), xfs_attr_item.c:706), in the add and replace paths that can grow the fork. Removals and lookups never grow it, so they leave the field alone, matching that switch.
