Integrity High (I:H)
Availability High (A:H)

How to Fix CVE-2026-90093

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-2026-90093, 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: Bluetooth: L2CAP: access chan->conn safely in get/setsockopt Since commit b66774b48dd9 ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix UAF in channel timeout by holding conn ref") l2cap_chan::conn has held reference and remains non-NULL also after the corresponding hci_conn is deleted. In this state accessing various fields eg. hci_conn::hdev is invalid, which leads to KASAN crash in l2cap_sock_setsockopt() access of conn->hcon->hdev. Check l2cap_chan::conn.hcon corresponds to an alive hci_conn before trying to use it in l2cap_sock.c. Hold l2cap_chan_lock() in getsockopt/setsockopt to ensure it stays alive, and to avoid data races in l2cap_chan fields.
