How to Fix CVE-2026-74685

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-2026-74685, 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: hwmon: (ltc4282) Clamp negative current limits When a negative value is passed to ltc4282_write_curr(), the signed long val is cast directly to u64: drivers/hwmon/ltc4282.c:ltc4282_write_curr() { /* need to pass it in millivolt */ u32 in = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST_ULL((u64)val * st->rsense, DECA * MICRO); ... } This cast converts negative inputs into large positive values. The subsequent division result overflows the u32 in variable, truncating to a pseudo-random positive value. When this is passed to ltc4282_write_voltage_byte(), it is clamped to the maximum limit instead of zero. Clamp val to 0 and to the maximum supported upper limit before the cast and assign the result to a 64-bit temporary variable before the division to avoid the underflow and an also possible overflow.
