CVE-2026-53158: Software Security Vulnerability Vulnerability
MODERATECVE-2026-53158 is a MODERATE (CVSS 5.5) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid but is null.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.
CVE-2026-53158 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 5.5
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:N/I:N/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2026-53158
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-2026-53158, 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.

First, dev_set_drvdata() is called before\nspin_lock_init() and idr_init(), leaving a window where the callback\ncan retrieve a valid cctx pointer but operate on an uninitialized\nspinlock. Second, the rpmsg channel becomes live as soon as the driver\nis bound, so fastrpc_rpmsg_callback() can fire before dev_set_drvdata()\nis called at all, resulting in dev_get_drvdata() returning NULL.\n\nFix both issues by moving all cctx initialization ahead of\ndev_set_drvdata() so the structure is fully initialized before it\nbecomes visible to the callback, and add a NULL check in\nfastrpc_rpmsg_callback() as a guard against any remaining window.",
