How to Fix CVE-2026-90296

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-2026-90296, 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: cpufreq: imx6q: fix devres accumulation across driver rebind imx6_soc_volt is allocated with devm_kcalloc(cpu_dev, ...), where cpu_dev is the CPU device from get_cpu_device(0). That device is never unbound, so its devres list is never released, and imx6q_cpufreq_remove() does not free the array either. Every probe therefore adds an allocation that stays for the lifetime of the system. Allocate against the platform device instead. Its devres is released when the driver is unbound, which is exactly the lifetime the array wants: imx6q_set_target() reads it, and nothing may reach that after cpufreq_unregister_driver(). That makes the array actually go away on unbind, so also clear the file-scope pointer in remove and on the failed-probe path, rather than leave it pointing at memory devres is about to release. Tested by rebinding the driver on qemu's mcimx6ul-evk.
