How to Fix CVE-2026-43097

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-2026-43097, 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 CWE-415: Double Free, where the product calls free() twice on the same memory address. 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: PCI: hv: Fix double ida_free in hv_pci_probe error path If hv_pci_probe() fails after storing the domain number in hbus->bridge->domain_nr, there is a call to free this domain_nr via pci_bus_release_emul_domain_nr(), however, during cleanup, the bridge release callback pci_release_host_bridge_dev() also frees the domain_nr causing ida_free to be called on same ID twice and triggering following warning: ida_free called for id=28971 which is not allocated. WARNING: lib/idr.c:594 at ida_free+0xdf/0x160, CPU#0: kworker/0:2/198 Call Trace: pci_bus_release_emul_domain_nr+0x17/0x20 pci_release_host_bridge_dev+0x4b/0x60 device_release+0x3b/0xa0 kobject_put+0x8e/0x220 devm_pci_alloc_host_bridge_release+0xe/0x20 devres_release_all+0x9a/0xd0 device_unbind_cleanup+0x12/0xa0 really_probe+0x1c5/0x3f0 vmbus_add_channel_work+0x135/0x1a0 Fix this by letting pci core handle the free domain_nr and remove the explicit free called in pci-hyperv driver.
