How to Fix CVE-2024-8447

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Lra coordinator jar dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

org.jboss.narayana.rts:lra-coordinator-jar fixed: 7.1.0.Final 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.narayana.rts</groupId>
    <artifactId>lra-coordinator-jar</artifactId>
    <version>7.1.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
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 -Dincludes=org.jboss.narayana.rts

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-8447, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jboss.narayana.rts

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Lra coordinator jar in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 7.1.0.Final), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jboss.narayana.rts 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-833: Deadlock, where the product contains multiple threads or executable segments that are waiting for each other to release a necessary lock, resulting in deadlock. In Lra coordinator jar, 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

A security issue was discovered in the LRA Coordinator component of Narayana. When Cancel is called in LRA, an execution time of approximately 2 seconds occurs. If Join is called with the same LRA ID within that timeframe, the application may crash or hang indefinitely, leading to a denial of service.
