CVE-2026-52925: Software Security Vulnerability Vulnerability
MODERATECVE-2026-52925 is a MODERATE (CVSS 5.5) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid but is null.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.
CVE-2026-52925 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-2026-52925
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-2026-52925, 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.

"details" : "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nvrf: Fix a potential NPD when removing a port from a VRF\n\nRCU readers that identified a net device as a VRF port using\nnetif_is_l3_slave() assume that a subsequent call to\nnetdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu() will return a VRF device. They then\ncontinue to dereference its l3mdev operations.\n\nThis assumption is not always correct and can result in a NPD [1]. There\nis no RCU synchronization when removing a port from a VRF, so it is\npossible for an RCU reader to see a new master device (e.g., a bridge)\nthat does not have l3mdev operations.\n\nFix by adding RCU synchronization after clearing the IFF_L3MDEV_SLAVE\nflag. Skip this synchronization when a net device is removed from a VRF\nas part of its deletion and when the VRF device itself is deleted. In\nthe latter case an RCU grace period will pass by the time RTNL is\nreleased.\n\n[1]\nBUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000\n[...]\nRIP: 0010:l3mdev_fib_table_rcu (net/l3mdev/l3mdev.c:181)\n[...]\nCall Trace:\n<TASK>\nl3mdev_fib_table_by_index (net/l3mdev/l3mdev.c:201 net/l3mdev/l3mdev.c:189)\n__inet_bind (net/ipv4/af_inet.c:499 (discriminator 3))\ninet_bind_sk (net/ipv4/af_inet.c:469)\n__sys_bind (./include/linux/file.h:62 (discriminator 1) ./include/linux/file.h:83 (discriminator 1) net/socket.c:1951 (discriminator 1))\n__x64_sys_bind (net/socket.c:1969 (discriminator 1) net/socket.c:1967 (discriminator 1) net/socket.c:1967 (discriminator 1))\ndo_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63 (discriminator 1) arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94 (discriminator 1))\nentry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:130)",
