CVE-2026-46141: Software Security Vulnerability Vulnerability
MODERATECVE-2026-46141 is a MODERATE (CVSS 5.5) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-401: Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.
CVE-2026-46141 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 5.5
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2026-46141
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.
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:treeHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-46141, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:treeAnalyze 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-401: Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime, where the product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.

However,\nafter commit cc0cc23babc9 (\"powerpc/xive: Untangle xive from child\ninterrupt controller drivers\"), xive_irq_free_data() retrieves the\nchip_data using irq_get_chip_data(), which looks up the data through\nthe child domain.\n\nThis is incorrect because the XIVE-specific irq data is associated with\nthe XIVE (parent) domain. As a result the lookup fails and the allocated\nstruct xive_irq_data is never freed, leading to the kmemleak report\nshown above.\n\nFix this by retrieving the irq_data from the correct domain using\nirq_domain_get_irq_data() and then accessing the chip_data via\nirq_data_get_irq_chip_data().",
