How to Fix CVE-2026-98237

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-2026-98237, 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: wwan: mhi_wwan_mbim: guard against a cyclic NDP chain The NDP traversal in mhi_mbim_rx() only stops when wNextNdpIndex is zero. Nothing requires the offsets to advance, so a modem that points an NDP at itself, or at an earlier NDP, keeps the loop spinning forever on one CPU. Break out when the next NDP offset is not larger than the current one. Verified in a QEMU guest with a fault injector feeding the driver's receive callback an NTB whose single NDP points at itself: the unpatched driver spins in mhi_mbim_rx() with one CPU pinned at 100% and the thread never returns. With this check the loop terminates within one iteration. Changes in v2: move the non-increasing check to the wNextNdpIndex retrieval site, as suggested by Loic Poulain, instead of tracking the previous offset in a separate variable.
