How to Fix CVE-2026-97615

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-2026-97615, 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: bridge: use option bits for CFM/MRP frame handlers CFM and MRP register a global br_frame_type whose hlist_node is linked into the per-bridge frame_type_list when the first MEP/MRP instance is created. Enabling the protocol on multiple bridges therefore inserts the same node into multiple lists. Unregistering it on one bridge then corrupts list state belonging to another. These handlers can only be installed once per bridge, and they are uncommon. Track their per-bridge enable state with net_bridge option bits, which already live on the Rx hot cache line, and dispatch the matching handler directly from the receive path. Check both bits together first as an unlikely case. Remove the generic frame_type_list and br_frame_type helpers, which have had no other users since CFM and MRP were added. That shrinks struct net_bridge by 8 bytes and drops the list walk from the fast path. When neither protocol is compiled in, BR_CFM_MRP_OPTS is 0 and the compiler prunes the branch.
