How to Fix CVE-2026-92480

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-2026-92480, 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: scsi: ufs: core: Validate string descriptors The string descriptor length includes a two-byte header while the UTF-16 payload starts after it. utf16s_to_utf8s() expects a count of UTF-16 code units, not bytes. Passing the payload byte count can make it read beyond the descriptor buffer. Validate that the payload has an even byte count, pass a code-unit count to the converter, and allocate sufficient UTF-8 output space. The raw string buffer starts after the descriptor header but its size is bLength. Copying bLength bytes from that pointer can read beyond the response buffer. Allocate a zeroed bLength-sized buffer and copy only the UTF-16 payload. This preserves the raw buffer size consumed by the RPMB device-ID ABI while avoiding the overread.
